Computer simulations for the adsorption of polymers onto surfaces
The objective is to develop theoretical models and computer simulations to examine the adsorption of polymers onto a variety of surfaces, and to understand how the chain architecture and conditions such as the surface or solvent affect the extent of adsorption and the morphology of the interfacial layers. Results obtained last year are summarized under the following headings: behavior of copolymers at a liquid-liquid interface, grafted homopolymer chains in a poor solvent, amphiphilic comb copolymers in oil/water solutions, modeling polymer adsorption onto influenza virus, and behavior of polymers in concentrated surfactant solutions. Plans for future work are also given. 17 refs. (DLC)
