Equations of the distribution function of adsorption energy for adsorbents of heterogeneous micropores system have been derived with the condensation approximation method. The influences of adsorbent texture and adsorbate type on the shape of the function have been studied. As it has been stated, th
## Abstract **Summary:** We consider the shape of strongly adsorbed polymer chains in poor solvents. Using both SCF theory and Monte Carlo simulations, we find these chains undergo an instability which is driven, surprisingly, by polymer entropy. This instability occurs above some critical grafting
