We model the behaviour of a single colloid embedded in a cross-linked polymer gel, immersed in a viscous background fluid. External fields actuate the particle into a periodic motion, which deforms the embedding matrix and creates a local…

Fluids made of two-dimensional hard particles with polygonal shapes may stabilize symmetries which do not result directly from the particle shape. This is due to the formation of clusters in the fluid. Entropy alone can drive these effects,…

The shape of a polymer plays an important role in determining its interactions with other molecules and with the environment, and is in turn affected by both of them. As a consequence, in the literature the shape properties of a chain in…
