چکیده

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 diagram and critical exponents are given. PACS : 64.60.Ak, 64.60.Fr, 64.60.Kw Keyword : Interpenetration, Contact Exponent, Polymer, Fractal.

Conformational Properties Of A Semiflexible Polymer Chain: Exact Results On A Hexagonal Lattice

We have investigated conformational properties of a linear semiflexible homopolymer chain in the bulk and adsorption desorption behaviour in the presence of an attractive impenetrable curved surface using lattice models. Since, it is understood that the essential physics associated with the conformational behavior of such polymer chains can be derived from a model of a self avoiding walk (SAW) ...

Transitions of tethered polymer chains: a simulation study with the bond fluctuation lattice model.

A polymer chain tethered to a surface may be compact or extended, adsorbed or desorbed, depending on interactions with the surface and the surrounding solvent. This leads to a rich phase diagram with a variety of transitions. To investigate these transitions we have performed Monte Carlo simulations of a bond fluctuation model with Wang-Landau and umbrella sampling algorithms in a two-dimension...

Kinetics of Adsorption of Linear Homopolymers onto Flat Surfaces: Rouse Dynamics

The dynamic properties o< unentangled adsorbed polymer layers are considered theoretically. The kinetics of penetration of a chain in an adsorbed layer is considered as a twostep process: entry corresponding to the attachment of the chain on the adsorbing surface and spreading on the surface. We discuss three types of experiments, the formation of an adsorbed layer, the desorption from an adsor...

Collapsed and adsorbed states of a directed polymer chain in two - dimensions .

A phase diagram for a surface interacting long flexible partially directed polymer chain in a two-dimensional poor solvent where the possibility of collapse in the bulk exists is determined using exact enumeration method. We used a model of self attracting self-avoiding walk and evaluated 30 steps in series. An intermediate phase in between the desorbed collapsed and adsorbed expanded phases ha...

Interplay of Coil–Globule Transition and Surface Adsorption of a Lattice HP Protein Model

An end-grafted hydrophobic-polar (HP) model protein chain with alternating H and P monomers is studied to examine interactions between the critical adsorption transition due to surface attraction and the collapse transition due to pairwise attractive H-H interactions. We find that the critical adsorption phenomenon can always be observed; however, the critical adsorption temperature T(CAP) is i...
