Mikto-Arm Stars as Soft-Patchy Particles: From Building Blocks to Mesoscopic Structures

We present an atomistic molecular dynamics study of self-assembled mikto-arm stars, which resemble patchy-like particles. By increasing the number of stars in the system, we propose a systematic way of examining the mutual orientation of these fully penetrable patchy-like objects. The individual sta...
