The Plasticon Award was conferred on 1st February 2012, at 8th International Plastics Exhibition and conference. The Department received national recognition by winning the Gold Trophy for Plasticon Award 2012 in the category of Best Educational Institution Contributing to Plastics. The Department has immense strength in the area of Polymer Engineering. The reinforcements used are carbon nanotubes, graphene, nanoparticles and nanofibers.The Department of Chemical Engineering with well qualified faculty provides high standard of education in the diversified fields of Chemical Engineering. The nanocomposite materials discussed in this book include polymer-matrix composites. Lastly the applications of molecular dynamics in various fields of engineering and technology will be discussed. The concept of perl scripting has also been discussed in detail. The properties predicted are mechanical, thermal, optical and electrical. As the book progresses, various case studies related to modeling of composites at nano level will be discussed. Then various molecular dynamics methods will be discussed in detail. The book starts with an introduction to molecular dynamics. The source codes written in the book can be used by any one for modeling.

In this book, Materials Studio software developed by Accelrys, a software company headquartered in the United States, has been used for performing the simulations and analysis. This book will be beneficial for students, researchers and scientists working in the field of molecular dynamics simulation.
