The present work concerns the transferability of coarse-grained (CG) modeling in reproducing the dynamic properties of the reference atomistic systems across a range of parameters. In particular, we focus on implicit-solvent CG modeling of polymer solutions. The CG model is based on the generalized Langevin equation, where the memory kernel plays the critical role in determining the dynamics in all time scales. Thus, we propose methods for transfer learning of memory kernels. The key ingredient of our methods is Gaussian process regression. By integration with the model order reduction via proper orthogonal decomposition and the active learning technique, the transfer learning can be practically efficient and requires minimum training data. Through two example polymer solution systems, we demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed transfer learning methods in the construction of transferable memory kernels. The transferability allows for out-of-sample predictions, even in the extrapolated domain of parameters. Built on the transferable memory kernels, the CG models can reproduce the dynamic properties of polymers in all time scales at different thermodynamic conditions (such as temperature and solvent viscosity) and for different systems with varying concentrations and lengths of polymers.

Modeling a high-dimensional Hamiltonian system in reduced dimensions with respect to coarse-grained (CG) variables can greatly reduce computational cost and enable efficient bottom-up prediction of main features of the system for many applications. H owever, it usually experiences significantly altered dynamics due to loss of degrees of freedom upon coarse-graining. To establish CG models that can faithfully preserve dynamics, previous efforts mainly focused on equilibrium systems. In contrast, various soft matter systems are known out of equilibrium. Therefore, the present work concerns non-equilibrium systems and enables accurate and efficient CG modeling that preserves non-equilibrium dynamics and is generally applicable to any non-equilibrium process and any observable of interest. To this end, the dynamic equation of a CG variable is built in the form of the non-stationary generalized Langevin equation (nsGLE) to account for the dependence of non-equilibrium processes on the initial conditions, where the two-time memory kernel is determined from the data of the two-time auto-correlation function of the non-equilibrium trajectory-averaged observable of interest. By embedding the non-stationary non-Markovian process in an extended stochastic framework, an explicit form of the non-stationary random noise in the nsGLE is introduced, and the cost is significantly reduced for solving the nsGLE to predict the non-equilibrium dynamics of the CG variable. To prove and exploit the equivalence of the nsGLE and extended dynamics, the memory kernel is parameterized in a two-time exponential expansion. A data-driven hybrid optimization process is proposed for the parameterization, a non-convex and high-dimensional optimization problem.
A first-principle multiscale modeling approach is presented, which is derived from the solution of the Ornstein-Zernike equation for the coarse-grained representation of polymer liquids. The approach is analytical, and for this reason is transferable . It is here applied to determine the structure of several polymeric systems, which have different parameter values, such as molecular length, monomeric structure, local flexibility, and thermodynamic conditions. When the pair distribution function obtained from this procedure is compared with the results from a full atomistic simulation, it shows quantitative agreement. Moreover, the multiscale procedure accurately captures both large and local scale properties while remaining computationally advantageous.
The phase-field crystal model in its amplitude equation approximation is shown to provide an accurate description of the deformation field in defected crystalline structures, as well as of dislocation motion. We analyze in detail the elastic distorti on and stress regularization at a dislocation core and show how the Burgers vector density can be directly computed from the topological singularities of the phase-field amplitudes. Distortions arising from these amplitudes are then supplemented with non-singular displacements to enforce mechanical equilibrium. This allows for the consistent separation of plastic and elastic time scales in this framework. A finite element method is introduced to solve the combined amplitude and elasticity equations, which is applied to a few prototypical configurations in two spatial dimensions for a crystal of triangular lattice symmetry: i) the stress field induced by an edge dislocation with an analysis of how the amplitude equation regularizes stresses near the dislocation core, ii) the motion of a dislocation dipole as a result of its internal interaction, and iii) the shrinkage of a rotated grain. We also compare our results with those given by other extensions of classical elasticity theory, such as strain-gradient elasticity and methods based on the smoothing of Burgers vector densities near defect cores.
Numerous molecular systems, including solutions, proteins, and composite materials, can be modeled using mixed-resolution representations, of which the quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach has become the most widely used. However, t he QM/MM approach often faces a number of challenges, including the slow sampling of the large configuration space for the MM part, the high cost of repetitive QM computations for changing coordinates of atoms in the MM surroundings, and a difficulty in providing a simple, qualitative interpretation of numerical results in terms of the influence of the molecular environment upon the active QM region. In this paper, we address these issues by combining QM/MM modeling with the methodology of bottom-up coarse-graining (CG) to provide the theoretical basis for a systematic quantum-mechanical/coarse-grained molecular mechanics (QM/CG-MM) mixed resolution approach. A derivation of the method is presented based on a combination of statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics, leading to an equation for the effective Hamiltonian of the QM part, a central concept in the QM/CG-MM theory. A detailed analysis of different contributions to the effective Hamiltonian from electrostatic, induction, dispersion and exchange interactions between the QM part and the surroundings is provided, serving as a foundation for a potential hierarchy of QM/CG-MM methods varying in their accuracy and computational cost. A relationship of the QM/CG-MM methodology to other mixed resolution approaches is also discussed.
A coarse-grained model is developed to allow large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a branched polyetherimide derived from two backbone monomers [4,4-bisphenol A dianhydride (BPADA) and m-phenylenediamine (MPD)], a chain terminator [phtha lic anhydride (PA)], and a branching agent [tris[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl] ethane (TAPE)]. An atomistic model is first built for the branched polyetherimide. A systematic protocol based on chemistry-informed grouping of atoms, derivation of bond and angle interactions by direct Boltzmann inversion, and parameterization of nonbonded interactions by potential of mean force (PMF) calculations via gas-phase MD simulations of atomic group pairs, is used to construct the coarse-grained model. A six-pair geometry, with one atomic group at the center and six replicates of the other atomic group placed surrounding the central group in a NaCl structure, has been demonstrated to significantly speed up the PMF calculations and partially capture the many-body aspect of the PMFs. Furthermore, we propose a correction term to the PMFs that can make the resulting coarse-grained model transferable temperature-wise, by enabling the model to capture the thermal expansion property of the polymer. The coarse-grained model has been applied to explore the mechanical, structural, and rheological properties of the branched polyetherimide.
