Facilitation of polymer looping and giant polymer diffusivity in crowded solutions of active particles

Facilitation of polymer looping and giant polymer diffusivity in crowded solutions of active particles

We study the dynamics of polymer chains in a bath of self-propelled particles (SPP) by extensive Langevin dynamics simulations in a two-dimensional model system. Specifically, we analyse the polymer looping properties versus the SPP activity and investigate how the presence of the active particles a...
