Abstract

The conformational properties of a lattice self-avoiding polymer chain tethered to an interacting and impenetrable flat surface were simulated using a dynamic Monte Carlo method. The results show that the conformational size reaches a minimum at the critical adsorption point (CAP) and that the scaling behavior of the polymer at the CAP is the same as that in the bulk solution. The results provide a new method to determine the CAP of polymer chains. ©The Society of Polymer Science, Japan (SPSJ) All rights reserved.
