A Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) simulation of a colloid particle subjected to an external force in a highly entangled semiflexible polymer network. DPD is a simulation technique that accounts for the polymer-solvent interaction by simulating the solvent explicitly. Visualization performed with Visual Molecular Dynamics (Humphrey, W., Dalke, A. and Schulten, K., "VMD - Visual Molecular Dynamics", J. Molec. Graphics, 1996, vol. 14, pp. 33-38, www.ks.uiuc.edu ) and VideoMach software. ...
