Abstract
AbstractSummary: Monte Carlo simulation on a simple lattice model has been used to study the adsorption of asymmetrical triblock copolymers from a non‐selective solvent at the solid‐liquid interface. The size distributions of train, loop and tail configurations for those copolymers are obtained as well as other details of the adsorption layer microstructure. Also the influence of adsorption energy and the role of molecular symmetry are investigated. A segment‐density profile, the adsorption amount, the surface coverage, and the adsorption layer thickness have been determined. Finally, it is shown that the adsorption behavior of an asymmetrical copolymer can be predicted from the symmetrical copolymer.Size distributions of the tail configuration for A8−kB20Ak.magnified imageSize distributions of the tail configuration for A8−kB20Ak.
