Abstract
Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) is one of the most promising simulation techniques for studies of mesoscopic properties of soft matter systems. Here, we discuss DPD, its parameterisation in simple systems, as well as in polymeric systems using the Flory–Huggins theory, and generalisations of DPD. Block copolymer mesophase separation, polymers and membranes in surfactant solutions, and biomembrane morphology and rupture will shown as specific examples.
