Adsorption and collapse transitions in a linear polymer chain near an attractive wall.
We deduce the qualitative phase diagram of a long flexible neutral polymer chain immersed in a poor solvent near an attracting surface using phenomenological arguments. The actual positions of the phase boundaries are estimated numerically from series expansion up to 19 sites of a self-attracting self-avoiding walk in three dimensions. In two dimensions, we calculate phase boundaries analytical...
متن کاملAdsorption and collapse transitions of a linear polymer chain interacting with a surface adsorbed polymer chain
We study the problem of adsorption and collapse transition of a linear polymer chain situated in a fractal container represented by a 4-simplex lattice and interacting with a surface adsorbed linear polymer chain. The adsorbed chain monomers act as pinning sites for the polymer chain. This problem has been solved exactly using real space renormalization group transformation. The resulting phase...
متن کاملConformational mechanics of polymer adsorption transitions at attractive substrates.
Conformational phases of a semiflexible off-lattice homopolymer model near an attractive substrate are investigated by means of multicanonical computer simulations. In our polymer-substrate model, nonbonded pairs of monomers as well as monomers and the substrate interact via attractive van der Waals forces. To characterize conformational phases of this hybrid system, we analyze thermal fluctuat...
متن کاملCollapse of a flexible polymer chain II
2014 This note gives a physical description of the collapse transition for a long chain (Nmonomers) near the 0398 point, based on existing renormalization group calculations. 1) at T = 0398 exactly, the chain is ideal as regards the size (R ~ N1/2) and the virial coefficient vanishes. However, some repulsive correlations remain due to 3 body interactions ; 2) for temperatures T = 0398 + 0394T, ...
متن کاملPolymer Chain Collapse in Supercritical Fluids
Recent computer simulations of a polymer chain in a solvent have provided evidence, for the first time, of polymer chain collapse near the lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Motivated by these results, we have studied further this system to understand the effect of solvent and monomer sizes, chain length, and solvent and monomer energetic interactions. By means of extensive Monte Carlo...
