Polymer-surface interactions are important in every stage of oil and coal production, production of new energy-efficient composite materials, and in medicine. Therefore, it is important to isolate the factors that influence the interfacial activity of polymer chains. We developed theoretical models and computer simulations to determine effects of polymer architecture, solvent quality, and surface morphology on properties of chains at penetrable and impenetrable interfaces. 7 figs, 27 refs.
