The physics of active polymers and filaments

Roland G. Winkler,
Gerhard Gompper

Abstract: Active matter agents consume internal energy or extract energy from the environment for locomotion and force generation. Already rather generic models, such as ensembles of active Brownian particles, exhibit phenomena, which are absent at equilibrium, in particular motility-induced phase separation and collective motion. Further intriguing nonequilibrium effects emerge in assemblies of bound active agents as in linear polymers or filaments. The interplay of activity and conformational degrees of freedom gives … Show more

“…Active matter has played a key role in developing the physical paradigm, through studying minimal biological systems and theoretical models inspired by them (e.g. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]).…”

“…Model: We simulate a system of N fil active filaments confined within an elastic vesicle, which has radius R ves in its undeformed state. We represent active filaments using a modified version of the model in Joshi, et al [86], in which each filament is a nearly-inextensible, semiflexible chain of M beads of diameter σ [12]. Bonded beads interact through an expanded FENE potential [87], while non-bonded beads interact through a purely repulsive expanded Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (eWCA) potential [88] with strength .…”
