Allocation of time on the Swedish national supercomputing facilities since 2000, as well as support from other sources, has allowed us to perform computational studies on a wide variety of systems. These include properties and growth of carbon nanotubes [1–36], icecatalysed reactions of importance to stratospheric ozone depletion[37], calculations of vapour-liquid, liquid-liquid and vapour-liquid-liquid phase equilibrium of single, binary and ternary component systems[38], and, more recently, carbonaceous polymer nanocomposites and cellulose decomposition. More details of these projects are available at the web page given above.
