"Preface Over the past few decades, molecular modeling (MM) has become an important
tool in many academic institutions and industrial laboratories. While the role of
MM in biological fields--especially in the design and development of novel drug molecules
or formulations--is well established and acknowledged, its direct role in the design
and development of performance chemicals and novel materials is still not well known.
Questions such as, which new products have resulted from an MM-based approach? are
still often asked. Although MM may be playing an important role in product development,
quite often it becomes difficult to predict its direct impact because most of the
time the problem being addressed involves a multidisciplinary approach. Further, the
assumption that fundamental phenomena being modeled though MM will have a direct impact
on the macroscopic and functional properties of a product make the situation more
complicated. In most of the cases, MM actually works as an enabler toward novel product
and material development (e.g., novel drug molecules in biological application) rather
than directly coming up with new products and materials. This precisely is the reason
that despite seeing value in MM tools, most engineers and practitioners are often
focus on the question, how do I leverage these tools to design and develop novel materials
or chemicals for the industry I am working with? Unfortunately, there is no simple
answer to this question. Excellent books and very good research publications highlight
the most intricate, fundamental, and theoretical details about MM techniques and tools"--
