Self-organized states of solutions of active ring polymers in bulk and under confinement
Juan Pablo Miranda-López, Emanuele Locatelli, Chantal Valeriani
In the presented work we study, by means of numerical simulations, the behaviour of a suspension of active ring polymers in the bulk and under lateral confinement. When changing th…
Non-monotonous translocation time of polymers across pores
Emanuele Locatelli, Valentino Bianco, Chantal Valeriani +1
Polymers confined in corrugated channels, i.e. channels of varying amplitude, display {multiple local maxima and minima of the diffusion coefficient upon increasing their degree of…
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…
Multiblob coarse-graining for mixtures of long polymers and soft colloids
Emanuele Locatelli, Barbara Capone, Christos N. Likos
Soft nanocomposites represent both a theoretical and an experimental challenge due to the high number of the microscopic constituents that strongly influence the behaviour of the s…
Single-file escape of colloidal particles from microfluidic channels
Emanuele Locatelli, Matteo Pierno, Fulvio Baldovin +3
Single-file diffusion is a ubiquitous physical process exploited by living and synthetic systems to exchange molecules with their environment. It is paramount quantifying the escap…
Active Brownian Particles Escaping a Channel in Single File
Emanuele Locatelli, Fulvio Baldovin, Enzo Orlandini +1
Active particles may happen to be confined in channels so narrow that they cannot overtake each other (Single File conditions). This interesting situation reveals nontrivial physic…
