We investigate the properties of magnetic supracolliodal polymers – magnetic filaments (MFs) – with super-paramagnetic monomers, with and without Van der Waals (VdW) attraction between them. We employ molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to elucidate the impact of crosslinking mechanism on the struct...
