Polymer Adsorption on Curved Surfaces: A Geometric Approach.
In this article, we have developed a simple model that describes the adsorption of polymer chains from a solution having a good solvent onto a reactive surface of varying curvatures. In order to evaluate the impact of particle size on the adsorption process, we have probed the adsorption of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) on aluminum oxide (Al2O3) surfaces belonging to particles of different s...
متن کاملPolymer Adsorption on Curved Surfaces: Finite chain length corrections
The structural properties of polymers adsorbed onto a surface have been widely investigated using self-consistent mean-field theories. Recently, analytical mean-field theories have been applied to study polymer adsorption on curved surfaces but all in the context of the ground state dominance approximation in which the polymer chain length (N) is essentially infinite. Using an expression for th...
متن کاملAdsorption of annealed branched polymers on curved surfaces.
The behavior of annealed branched polymers near adsorbing surfaces plays a fundamental role in many biological and industrial processes. Most importantly single stranded RNA in solution tends to fold up and self-bind to form a highly branched structure. Using a mean field theory, we both perturbatively and numerically examine the adsorption of branched polymers on surfaces of several different ...
متن کاملPolymer adsorption on small spheres. A scaling approach
2014 The adsorption of polymer chains on small objects in solution, such as micelles, is discussed using scaling results to describe the confinement energy. Adsorption on small spheres and on clusters of such spheres is discussed and appropriate power laws for the dimensions and energies are derived. For non-interacting objects the segregation of a dense, gel-like phase, is predicted. The direc...
متن کاملCritical adsorption on curved objects.
A systematic field-theoretical description of critical adsorption on curved objects such as spherical or rodlike colloidal particles immersed in a fluid near criticality is presented. The temperature dependence of the corresponding order parameter profiles and of the excess adsorption are calculated explicitly. Critical adsorption on elongated rods is substantially more pronounced than on spher...
