Substrate Adhesion of a Nongrafted Flexible Polymer in a Cavity
Michael Bachmann, Wolfhard Janke
TL;DR
This study explores how a flexible lattice polymer interacts with an attractive cavity surface, revealing complex phase behavior including multiple subphases of collapsed and expanded structures.
Contribution
It provides a detailed phase diagram of a nongrafted flexible polymer in a cavity, highlighting the rich subphase structure beyond simple adsorption and desorption.
Findings
Identification of multiple subphases of collapsed and expanded conformations
Mapping of the solubility-temperature pseudo-phase diagram
Demonstration of complex phase behavior in cavity-confined polymers
Abstract
In a contact density chain-growth study we investigate the solubility-temperature pseudo-phase diagram of a lattice polymer in a cavity with an attractive surface. In addition to the main phases of adsorbed and desorbed conformations we find numerous subphases of collapsed and expanded structures.
