Abstract

Bridging biological complexity and synthetic material design, we investigate dissipative self-assembly in patchy particle systems. Utilizing Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics simulations, we demonstrate how external driving forces mitigate equilibrium trade-offs between assembly time and structural stability, traditionally encountered in self-assembly processes. Our findings also extend to biological-mimicking environments, where we explore the dynamics of patchy particles under crowded conditions. This comprehensive analysis offers insights into advanced material design, opening avenues for innovations in nanotechnology applications.
