## Abstract We report some very recent studies on the localization of hydrophobicโpolar regular copolymers at a selective solventโsolvent interface with emphasis on the impact of block length __M__ on their static properties and dynamics. A simple scaling theory is developed and its predictions are

A theoretical model of copolymers made of N blocks is studied at the air-water interface. Each block is made of a sequence A of Z A hydrophobic and of a sequence B of Z B hydrophilic monomers. The A and B sequences cannot cross the interface. The conformation of an adsorbed polymer is determined as
Block copolymers that have both adsorbing and nonadsorbing blocks can be used to stabilize colloidal dispersions. However, they can also induce an attraction between two particles by forming bridges between the surfaces. In this paper we investigate when such an attraction occurs and how its magnitu
