Abstract Colloidal polymers with tunable chain stiffness have been successfully assembled in experiments recently. Similar to molecular polymers, chain stiffness is an important feature which can distinctly affect the dynamical behaviors of colloidal polymers. Hence, we model colloidal polymers with controlled chain stiffness and study the effect of chain stiffness on glassy behaviors. For stiff chains, there are long-ranged periodic intrachain correlations besides two incompatible local length scales, i.e., monomer size and bond length. The mean square displacement of monomers exhibits sub-diffusion at intermediate time/length scale and the sub-diffusive exponent increases with chain stiffness. The data of localization length of stiff polymers versus rescaled volume fraction for different monomer sizes can gather close to an exponential curve and decay slower than those of flexible polymers. The increase of chain stiffness linearly increases the activation energy of the colloidal-polymer system and thus makes the colloidal polymers vitrify at lower volume fraction. Static and dynamic equivalences between stiff colloidal polymers of different monomer sizes have been checked.

42 There is no unique definition of the two ends of caging regime in the MSD curve. We mark the two ends by searching the points at which the slope of the log-log plot of the MSD curve reaches the average of the slopes of the caging regime and the sub-diffusive regime.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
