We use neuroevolutionary learning to identify time-dependent protocols for low-dissipation self-assembly in a model of generic active particles with interactions. When the time allotted for assembly is sufficiently long, low-dissipation protocols use only interparticle attractions, producing an amount of entropy that scales as the number of particles. When time is too short to allow assembly to proceed via diffusive motion, low-dissipation assembly protocols instead require particle self-propulsion, producing an amount of entropy that scales with the number of particles and the swim length required to cause assembly. Self-propulsion therefore provides an expensive but necessary mechanism for inducing assembly when time is of the essence.

A fluorinated and thermo-cross-linked polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) has been successfully synthesized by thermal polymerization of a fluorinated POSS monomer having an inorganic silsesquioxane core and organic side chains bearing thermo-cross-linkable trifluorovinyl ether groups. This new inorganic-organic hybrid polymer shows high thermostability with a 5 wt % loss temperature of 436 °C, as well as good transparency (a sheet with an average thickness of 1.5 mm shows high transmittance of 92% varying from 400 to 1100 nm).
