This thesis investigates the dynamics and structure of active poly[2]catenated rings, where activity is introduced by applying tangential active forces to monomers. The primary focus is to analyze the effect of activity on the system's structure and dynamics. Using molecular dynamics simulations, various physical quantities related to shape, size, structure, and dynamics of the chains are extracted and analyzed. Two configurations are examined. First, the symmetric system, in which both rings are equally active, aims to analyze the effects of activity percentage and ring length on the structure and dynamics of the two-ring system, and to compare the behavior of its rings with that of single...
