The behavior of a polymer in a passive crowded medium or in a very dilute active bath has been well studied, while a polymer immersed in an environment featured by both crowding and activity remains an open problem. In this paper, a systematic Langevin simulation is performed to investigate the conformational change of a semi-flexible chain in a concentrated solution packed with spherical active crowders. A very novel shrinkage-to-swelling transition is observed for a polymer with small rigidity. The underlying phase diagram is constructed in the parameter space of active force and crowder size. Moreover, the variation of the polymer gyration radius demonstrates a non-monotonic dependence on the dynamical persistence length of the active particle. Lastly, the activity-crowding coupling effect in different crowder size baths is clarified. In the case of small crowders, activity strengthens the crowding-induced shrinkage to the chain. As crowder size increases, activity turns out to be a contrasting factor to crowding, resulting in a competitive shrinkage and swelling. In the large size situation, the swelling effect arising from activity eventually becomes dominant. The present study provides a deeper understanding of the unusual behavior of a semi-flexible polymer in an active and crowded medium, associated with the nontrivial activity-crowding coupling and the cooperative crowder size effect.
