“…While the phenomenology of active particle systems is well explored, active polymers have been considered only more recently. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] Here, interest is primarily focused on the dynamics of the collective behavior, 26,27,31,33 but to date still relatively little is known on the kinetics of the collapse transition of a single active polymer and the emerging structures during the associated coarsening process. For passive polymers, on the other hand, along with the equilibrium aspects of this transition, [41][42][43][44] the latter nonequilibrium phenomena [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] have been studied extensively for many years.…”
