Zusammenfassung:Understanding the behaviors of nanoparticles at interfaces is crucial not only for the design of novel nanostructured materials with superior properties but also for a better understanding of many biological systems where nanoscale objects such as drug molecules, viruses, and proteins can interact with various interfaces. Theoretical studies and tailored computer simulations offer unique approaches to investigating the evolution and formation of structures as well as to determining structure-property relationships regarding the interfacial nanostructures. In this feature article, we summarize our efforts to exploit computational approaches as well as theoretical modeling in understanding the organization of nanoscale objects at the interfaces of various systems. First, we present the latest research advances and state-of-the-art computational techniques for the simulation of nanoparticles at interfaces. Then we introduce the applications of multiscale modeling and simulation methods as well as theoretical analysis to explore the basic science and the fundamental principles in the interfacial nanoparticle organization, covering the interfaces of polymer, nanoscience, biomacromolecules, and biomembranes. Finally, we discuss future directions to signify the framework in tailoring the interfacial organization of nanoparticles based on the computational design. This feature article could promote further efforts toward fundamental research and the wide applications of theoretical approaches in designing interfacial assemblies for new types of functional nanomaterials and beyond
