Abstract

Active matter systems, which convert internal chemical energy or energy from the environment into directed motion, are ubiquitous in nature and exhibit a range of emerging non-equilibrium behaviors. However, most of the current works on active matter have been devoted to particles, and the study of active polymers has only recently come into the spotlight due to their prevalence within living organisms. The intricate interplay between activity and conformational degrees of freedom gives rise to novel structural and dynamical behaviors of active polymers. Research in active polymers remarkably broadens diverse concepts of polymer physics, such as molecular architecture, dynamics, scaling and so on, which is of significant importance for the development of new polymer materials with unique performance. Furthermore, active polymers are often found in strongly interacting and crowded systems and in complex environments, so that the understanding of this behavior is essential for future developments of novel polymer-based biomaterials. This review thereby focuses on the study of active polymers in complex and crowded environments, and aims to provide insights into the fundamental physics underlying the adaptive and collective behaviors far from equilibrium, as well as the open challenges that the field is currently facing.
活性聚合物在复杂拥挤环境中的非平衡结构和动态行为
将内部化学能或来自环境的能量转化为定向运动的活性物质系统在自然界无处不在,并表现出一系列新出现的非平衡行为。然而,目前大多数关于活性物质的研究都是针对粒子的,而对活性聚合物的研究直到最近才因其在生物体内的普遍存在而受到关注。活性与构象自由度之间错综复杂的相互作用产生了活性聚合物新颖的结构和动力学行为。对活性聚合物的研究极大地拓宽了聚合物物理学的各种概念,如分子结构、动力学、缩放等,这对开发具有独特性能的新型聚合物材料具有重要意义。此外,活性聚合物通常存在于强相互作用、拥挤的系统和复杂的环境中,因此了解这种行为对于未来开发新型聚合物生物材料至关重要。因此,本综述侧重于研究复杂拥挤环境中的活性聚合物,旨在深入探讨远离平衡状态的适应性和集体行为背后的基本物理学原理,以及该领域目前面临的挑战。
