Abstract
Conformations of chains in polymer melts confined between parallelsolid surfaces are examined by means of lattice Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and the Scheutjens-Fleer self-consistent-field (SCF) lattice theory for the purpose of comparing SCF predictions directly with simulation. The effects of surface chain end interactions on conformational properties of the chains are investigated by considering nonadsorbing, weakly adsorbing, and strongly adsorbing chain ends. Quantitative agreement between MC simulations and SCF theory is found for segment and chain end density distributions and bond orientation profiles
