Universality of the deswelling of tangentially active polymer chains in dilute solutions

Dilute solutions of linear polymer chains with tangentially active monomeric beads are simulated using a Brownian dynamics (BD) algorithm over a range of solvent quality in the thermal crossover regime between $\theta$ and athermal solvents. The conformational changes with increasing P{\'e}clet number ($Pe$) (which is...
