Self-assembly of amphiphilic homopolymers grafted onto spherical nanoparticles: complete embedded minimal surfaces and a machine learning algorithm for their recognition

Soft Matter, 2024, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/D4SM00616J, PaperD. A. Mitkovskiy, A. A. Lazutin, A. L. Talis, V. V. Vasilevskaya Amphiphilic macromolecules grafted onto spherical nanoparticles can self-assemble into morphological structures corresponding to the family of complete embedded minimal surfaces. They arise situationally, can coexist and...

Tuning Collective Actuation of Active Solids by Optimizing Activity Localization

Soft Matter, 2024, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D4SM00868E, PaperDavi Lazzari, Olivier Dauchot, Carolina Brito Active solids, more specifically elastic lattices embedded with polar active units, exhibit collective actuation when the elasto-active feedback, generically present in such systems, exceeds some critical value. The dynamics then... The...

Model Predictive Control of Non-interacting Active Brownian Particles

Soft Matter, 2024, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D4SM00902A, PaperTitus Quah, Kevin Joseph Modica, James Brawlings, Sho Takatori Active matter systems are strongly driven to assume non-equilibrium distributions owing to their self-propulsion, e.g., flocking and clustering. Controlling the active matter systems' spatiotemporal distributions offer...

The surface diffusivity of nanoparticles physically adsorbed at a solid-liquid interface

Soft Matter, 2024, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D4SM00992D, PaperTroy Singletary, Nima Iranmanesh, Carlos E. Colosqui This work proposes an analytical model considering the effects of hydrodynamic drag and kinetic barriers induced by liquid solvation forces to predict the translational diffusivity of a nanoparticle on an...
