Lattice simulations of chains in good, theta and poor solvents were performed with an explicit incorporation of the excluded volume (chain thickness) into the model. The scaling power law for chain dimensions was found to apply in the theta and athermal states and to fail in the region below the the
A general solution of the onedimensional random-walk probIem with an adsorbing barrier has been devefoped. For a given adsorption energy, 8, as the chain length is incx\*sed, the mean position of the free end of the molecule with respect to the surface, z, approaches the asymptotic values predicted
