Novel morphologies for laterally decorated metaparticles: Molecular dynamics simulation
We consider a mesoscale model for nano-sized metaparticles (MPs) composed of a central sphere decorated by polymer chains with laterally attached spherocylinder. The latter mimics the mesogenic (e.g., cyanobiphenyl) group. Molecular dynamics simulations of 100 MPs reveal the existence of two novel m...
