Adsorption of polyions onto charged surfaces has long been recognized as a crucial phenomenon in biological and technological applications. An intuitive model relating polyelectrolyte adsorption with the imposed features of polarizable surfaces of different compositions and charges is proposed based on Monte Carlo simulations using a coarse-grained approach. The excellent performance of the equation allows simultaneously describing a wide range of adsorption regimes and accounting for specific non-monotonic trends. For a constant surface charge density, the surface composition governs adsorption, promoting variations exceeding 100%. Adsorption increases with the number of attractive charges in the surface until reaching a maximum, decreasing thereafter due to the presence of polyanion-like charged particles. The presence of crowders hampers adsorption. These results can be used to efficiently predict and modulate the interaction between charged macromolecules and different substrates with direct implications in de novo designs of vehicles and biomedical devices.

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.
