Polyelectrolyte Adsorption on Charged Substrate
The behavior of a polyelectrolyte adsorbed on a charged substrate of high-dielectric constant is studied by both Monte-Carlo simulation and analytical methods. It is found that in a low enough ionic strength medium, the adsorption transition is first-order where the substrate surface charge still keeps repulsive. The monomer density at the adsorbed surface is identified as the order parameter. ...
متن کاملSimulations of Polyelectrolyte Adsorption to a Dielectric Like-Charged Surface.
We explore, using the recently developed efficient Monte Carlo simulation method, the interaction of an anionic polyelectrolyte solution with a like-charged dielectric surface. In addition to polyions, the solution also contains salt with either monovalent, divalent, or trivalent counterions. In agreement with recent experimental observations, we find that multivalent counterions can lead to st...
متن کاملPolyelectrolyte molecule conformation near a charged surface
-The scaling theory of conformation of a weakly charged polyelectrolyte molecule attached onto a charged surface is developed. It is shown that the long-range interaction between charged monomer units and similary (or oppositely) charged surface provides
متن کاملAdsorption of polyelectrolytes at an oppositely charged surface
We develop a scaling theory of polyelectrolyte adsorption at an oppositely charged surface. At low surface charge densities, the thickness of the adsorbed layer is determined by the balance between electrostatic attraction to the charged surface and chain entropy. At high surface charge densities, it is determined by the balance between electrostatic attraction and short-range monomer-monomer r...
متن کاملHow Polyelectrolyte Adsorption Depends on History: A Combined Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy in Attenuated Total Reflection and Surface Forces Study
We present a systematic study of how adsorption history affects the thickness, surface forces, and interfacial rheology of a model cationic polymer. The polymer was quaternized poly-4-vinylpyridine, QPVP (weight-average degree of polymerization nw ) 325 and 98% quaternized with ethyl bromide). The main comparisons concerned one-step adsorption from solution at a variable salt concentration up t...
