E 53 2531 MD simulations of micelles consisting of coarse-grained (CG) mode surfactants to optimize the CG model with respect to the structure factor S(q) of the atomistic micelle at large values of the wavevector q. The CG model is used to extrapolate the structure factor for small q in order to obtain reliable values for the micelle bending rigidity and persistence length .

For this model, where the smallest length-scale is the persistence length, the elastic modulus , scission energy and persistence length are taken 4 as input parameter from the atomistic and CG MD.

DPD-­‑ ¡ ¡Basic ¡model N "dpd" particles interacting via conservative, dissipative and random pair wise interactions Dissipative & random forces related through fluctuation-dissipation theorem Pair-wise random and dissipative forces conserve momentum Resulting in correct description of hydrodynamics Soft interactions allow for longer time steps, and therefore much longer times can be probed via DPD as opposed to MD • P.
