The design of self-assembling materials in the nanometer scale focuses on the fabrication of a class of organic and inorganic subcomponents that can be reliably produced on a large scale and tailored according to their vast applications for, e.g. ele

Experimental realization of cluster crystals- periodic structures with lattice sites occupied by several, overlapping building blocks, has been elusive. Here, the authors show the existence of well-controlled soft matter cluster crystals composed of

Ring polymers are known to display a variety of unusual dynamical behavior due to their topology. Here, simulations reveal that ring polymers under shear flow exhibit a swelling of the ring, causing them to behave as non-Brownian particles.

Glass transition in soft materials can be affected by the topology of constituent particles, but the detail remains elusive. Here, Smrek et al. show that the interplay between circular topology of ring polymers and their active segments generates a n

We use computer simulations to study a system of two unlinked ring polymers, whose length and bending stiffness are systematically varied. We derive the effective potentials between the rings, calculate the areas of minimal surfaces of the same, and

We study active topological glass under spherical confinement, allowing us to exceed the chain lengths simulated previously and determine the critical exponents of the arrested conformations. We find a previously unresolved "tank-treading" dynamic mo

By means of multiscale molecular simulation, we show that solvophilic-solvophobic AB diblock copolymer brushes in the semi-dilute regime present a re-entrant disorder/order/disorder transition. The latter is fully controllable through two parameters:

The behavior of unknotted and trefoil-knotted ring polymers under shear flow is here examined by means of mesoscopic simulations. In contrast to most polymers, ring polymers in a hydrodynamic solvent at high shear rates do not get shortened in the vo

We combine state-of-the art synthesis, simulations, and physical experiments to explore the tunable, responsive character of telechelic star polymers as models for soft patchy particles. We focus on the simplest possible system: a star comprising thr

Block copolymer stars (BCSs) have been demonstrated to constitute versatile, self-assembling building blocks with tunable softness, functionalization, and shape. We investigate the dynamical properties of suspensions of short-arm BCSs under linear sh
