The objective is to model the route from nanoparticles and colloids to assemblies and aggregates. We simulate tens of thousands up to millions of particles using implicit solvent. The first aim is the prediction and optimisation of the assembly of structural colour pigments and thin films. The second aim is the elucidation of individual and collective aggregation processes during the formation of network materials to guide the fabrication of porous matrices. As such, the project bridges the synthesis of colloidal nanoparticles and the resulting materials on the one hand as well as characterisation and materials optimisation efforts on the other hand.
