Abstract

The conformations adopted by random copolymers of two components adsorbed on a flat surface are studied here by the use of a simulation technique. The model used here assumes that the two copolymer components have different interactions with the surface. The change in the physical and geometrical properties is studied as a function of the interactions with the surface. The configuration of the adsorbed copolymers depends strongly on the interactions with the surface. The behavior of the copolymers shows some similarities with homopolymer, but also some differences are shown. The results shown here can be regarded as a guideline for controlling some specific configurations adopted by the adsorbed copolymers on colloid particles.
