POLYMER ADSORPTION

When all the monomers adsorb on a solid surface, a rather dense adsorbed layer is formed in the vicinity of the surface even if the bulk solution is dilute. This layer is rather thick due to the formation of large loops by the chains on the surface (although far thinner than a dense grafted layer). Some of the monomers belong to the tails of the chains. The structure of an adsorbed layer is presented in Fig. 4. In this section, we discuss the structure of an adsorbed polymer layer using first a mean field theory and then a scaling approach. In the last part, we present some results on the interactions between surfaces carrying adsorbed polymer layers.
