By constructing kinetic network models from extensive coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, we elucidated the formation mechanism of the dodecahedral cage and further improved the productivity of the dodecahedral cage through the rational design of the patch arrangement of patchy particles.

By using extensive all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of an atactic linear polymer chain, we unveil the role of pressure in the coil-to-globule transition of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM).
