Active polymer rings: activity-induced collapse and dynamical arrest
Emanuele Locatelli, Valentino Bianco, Paolo Malgaretti
We investigate, using numerical simulations, the conformations of isolated active ring polymers. We find that the their behaviour depends crucially on their size: short rings ($N \…
Tuning the order of colloidal monolayers: assembly of heterogeneously charged colloids close to a patterned substrate
Emanuele Locatelli, Emanuela Bianchi
We study the behavior of negatively charged colloids with two positively charged polar caps close to a planar patterned surface. The competition between the different anisotropic c…
Globule-like conformation and enhanced diffusion of active polymers
Valentino Bianco, Emanuele Locatelli, Paolo Malgaretti
We study the dynamics and conformation of polymers composed by active monomers. By means of Brownian dynamics simulations we show that when the direction of the self-propulsion of…
