Abstract

고분자 시스템의 경우 매우 상이한 시간 및 길이 스케일(time and length scale)에 연관된 복잡한 내부 구조(internal structure)를 가지고 있기 때문에 전통적인 실험 방법만으로는 체계적이고 종합적인 연구가 쉽지 않다. 최근 다양한 시간 및 길이 스케일에 연관된 연구를 진행할 수 있는 다중 스케일 전산 모사(multiscale computer simulation) 방법은 이러한 고분자 시스템 연구에 있어서 새로운 대안으로 각광받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근 급격한 발전을 이룬 고분자 용액(polymeric liquid) 시스템에 대한 평형(equilibrium) 및 비평형(nonequilibrium) 전산 모사(computer simulation) 방법들에 관해 소개하고 이를 통합적으로 해석할 수 있는 다중 스케일 전산 모사 방법에 대해 여러 가지 사례를 들어 살펴보았다.
