Pulling polymers on energetically disordered surfaces: molecular dynamics tests of linear and non-linear response

We present equilibrium and non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of flexible polymer chains absorbed on heterogeneous surfaces. The surfaces are flat but energetically disordered, as they consist of a random mixture of weakly and more strongly absorbing sites (94% and 6%, respectively). For...
