Systematic coarse-graining methods for soft matter simulations – a review

Abstract

Multiscale modelling of soft matter is an emerging field that has made rapid progress in the past decade. Several methods for systematic coarse-graining of molecular liquids and soft matter systems have been proposed in recent years. Herein, we review these methods and discuss a selected number of applications as well as limitations of the models and remaining challenges in developing representative and transferable pair potentials.
