Wrapping angle γ between two cylindrical colloids as a function of the intercylinder distance D ̃ for rescaled tension σ ̃ = 0.1. The rescaled adhesion energy is 1.0, 1.069, 1.1, and 1.3 respectively from panel (a) to panel (d). α represents the wrapping angle of a single cylinder under the same condition. α max represents the maximum wrapping angle in which a single cylinder can be completely wrapped.
