Chain Dimensions of a Polymer Confined between Two Interacting Plates

Phase diagram of hard spheres confined between two parallel plates

A hard sphere system confined between two parallel hard plates is investigated theoretically. Using extensive Monte Carlo computer simulations, the phase diagram is calculated for the whole range of densities and plate separations ranging from one to two particle diameters. There occurs a strong first-order fluid freezing transition and both very weak and strong discontinuous phase transitions ...

Adsorption and collapse transitions of a linear polymer chain interacting with a surface adsorbed polymer chain

We study the problem of adsorption and collapse transition of a linear polymer chain situated in a fractal container represented by a 4-simplex lattice and interacting with a surface adsorbed linear polymer chain. The adsorbed chain monomers act as pinning sites for the polymer chain. This problem has been solved exactly using real space renormalization group transformation. The resulting phase...

Origins of solidification when a simple molecular fluid is confined between two plates

A simple globular-shaped liquid ~octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, OMCTS! was placed between two rigid mica plates at variable spacings comparable to the size of this molecule and the linear shear viscoelasticity of the confined interfacial film was measured. Strong monotonic increase of the shear relaxation time, elastic modulus, and effective viscosity were observed as the spacing was decreased b...
