The rheological properties of composites derived from fillers in a polymer matrix depend on particle size, filler loading, and dispersion, as well as the interfacial interaction between the fillers and polymer matrix. For the coarse-grained modeling of such systems, it is crucial to pay attention to the fluid flow past the solid filler surface because the classical no-slip hydrodynamic boundary condition does not hold on the micro-and nanoscopic length scale. Instead, the flow is characterized by a microscopically small but finite slip length. To explore the dynamics and slippage, we perform both atomistic and highly coarse-grained (hCG) simulations. In the atomistic simulations, we study the dynamics of polybutadiene close to a silica surface. In the hCG scale, since the solid surface appears smooth, special simulation techniques are required to generate friction at the solid-fluid contact and control slippage. We devise a simulation strategy that can reproduce the dynamics of the polymers close to the wall as seen in the atomistic simulations. The parametrized hCG model, which is devised by comparison with the atomistic simulations, allows the exploration of the dynamics and slippage of polymers with a wide range of molecular weights.
