Title: Conformational transitions of nongrafted polymers near an absorbing substrate. Author: Bachmann M, Janke W. Journal: Phys Rev Lett; 2005 Jul 29; 95(5):058102. PubMed ID: 16090922. Abstract: We have performed multi-canonical chain-growth simulations of a polymer interacting with an adsorbing surface. The polymer, which is not explicitly anchored at the surface, experiences a hierarchy of phase transitions between conformations binding and nonbinding with the substrate. We discuss the phase diagram in the temperature-solubility plane and highlight the transition path through the free-energy landscape.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
