Self-assembly of convex particles on spherocylindrical surfaces

Abstract

Simulations and continuum theory of self-assembly of conical subunits around a spherocylindrical template show the tuning the template mean curvature, Gaussian curvature, and curvature anisotropy enables the controlled formation of a rich array of assembly geometries.
