Tactoids, membranes and fribrils – finite assemblies of rod-like particles — •Anja Kuhnhold, Nils Göth, Nadja Helmer, Victor Tänzel, and Tanja Schilling — Institute of Physics, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, Germany
Systems composed of rod-like particles and spherical depleting agents show a variety of self-assembled shapes and structures. We discuss a few of them and present corresponding Monte Carlo simulation results. The model system ingredients are hard spherocylinders as rod-like component and implicit Asakura-Oosawa spheres as depletants. In addition we study the effect of a chiral pair interaction between the rods.
This work got inspired by experiments using viruses as rod-like particles and polymer coils as depleting agents, see e.g. [1,2]. The monodispersity of viruses makes them a nice model system to compare simulations to. Beyond the comparison simulation results can be used to direct the self-assembly for specific structure-function relationships, e.g. templating or sensing.
