Semiflexible Polymers Interacting with Planar Surfaces: Weak versus Strong Adsorption

Semiflexible polymers bound to planar substrates by a short-range surface potential are studied by Molecular Dynamics simulations to clarify the extent to which these chain molecules can be considered as strictly two-dimensional. Applying a coarse-grained bead-spring model, the chain length <i>...
