Digitalization in research contributes to making research work more efficient, expanding knowledge networks, and creating more space for creativity. Chemist Dr Fangfang Chu and molecular simulation expert Dr Eduard Schreiner discuss the computer simulation of a microencapsulation. It is used to protect active ingredients, for example from moisture and oxygen. Simulations help to better understand and predict the complex chemical and physical interactions within the microcapsule, allowing laboratory test series to be planned more precisely.
