Anisotropic van der Waals dispersion forces in polymers: Structural symmetry breaking leads to enhanced conformational search
The modeling of conformations and dynamics of (bio)polymers is of primary importance for understanding the physicochemical properties of soft matter. Although short-range interactions such as covalent and hydrogen bonding control the local arrangement of polymers, noncovalent interactions play a dom...
