Adsorption of amphiphilic graft copolymers in solvents selective for the grafts on a lyophobic surface: a coarse-grained simulation study
Literature Information
Zuzana Limpouchová, Karel Procházka
The sorption of graft copolymers on surfaces attractive only for the backbone and its effect on the conformational behavior of adsorbed/desorbed chains in solvents good for the grafts and poor for the backbone was studied by coarse-grained computer simulations. It was found that the sorption and conformational behavior are very complex and are results of an intricate interplay of solvent quality (polymer–solvent interactions) and solvent strength (polymer–surface vs. solvent–surface interactions). Increasing grafting density and length of grafts protect the backbone against adsorption, but the behavior is non-trivial. A decrease in solvent quality promotes the adsorption, because it lowers the overall solubility, but the backbone collapses and the probability of backbone–surface contacts decreases, which simultaneously hinders the adsorption. The results of simulations are presented in the form of phase diagrams depicting the decisive features of the conformational and sorption behavior.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
