Sticky-MARTINI as a reactive coarse-grained model for molecular dynamics simulations of silica polymerization

Abstract We report a molecular modeling paradigm to describe silica polymerization reactions in aqueous solutions at conditions that are representative of realistic experimental processes like biosilicification or porous silica synthesis – i.e. at close to ambient temperatures and over a wide range...
