Adsorption of flexible polymer chains on a surface: Effects of different solvent conditions
Adsorption of flexible polymer chains on a surface: Effects of different solvent conditions
Polymer chains undergoing a continuous adsorption-desorption transition are studied through extensive computer simulations. A three-dimensional self-avoiding walk lattice model of a polymer chain grafted onto a surface has been treated for different solvent conditions. We have used an advanced contact-density chain-growth algorithm, in which the density of contacts can be …
