In the market there is a clear trend towards more complex materials which exhibit superior and often multiple functionalities. Examples are battery materials, printing inks, catalysts, cosmetics or pharmaceutical formulations. In chemical industry modeling and simulation gains increasing importance for faster development of innovative products and processes. For the full picture the modeling has to be performed on different scales, sometimes ranging from molecular to the macro (plant) size regime. Very often there is a knowledge gap in between the different scales. Mesoscience can help to overcome those limitations.
