Passive particle transport using a transversely propelling polymer “sweeper”

Abstract

Using Langevin dynamics simulations, we study a system of transversely propelling polymer and passive Brownian particles. We consider a polymer whose monomers experience a constant propulsion force perpendicular to the...

Structure and dynamics of an active polymer chain inside a nanochannel grafted with polymers

“…[44][45][46] However, not many studies exist on the dynamics and conformations of an active polymer in a crowded medium. 25,[47][48][49] In some recent studies, it was found that active agents migrate through the crowded environment by changing their shape. [50][51][52] Bhattacharjee et al observed the hopping-and-trapping motion of bacteria in a porous medium.…”
