The exchange kinetics of polymers adsorbing on a solid surface is extensively studied by dynamic Monte Carlo simulations. A model employed simulates a semidilute polymer solution placed in contact with a solid surface that attracts polymer segments by the adsorption interaction (v s ). The exchange
Characteristic conformation of a comb copolymer cylindrical brush consisting of a flexible backbone of 300 beads (black) and 150 semiflexible side chains (white) of length M = 60. Intrinsic stiffness of the side chains is given by k side (s = 165 8)/ M L 0.48. Magnification shows the strongly fluctu
Simulations were carried out of the polymer-polymer chain interpenetration, diffusion, and adhesion of crosslinked polymers with dangling chain ends. Concentration profiles were determined for various polymer chain lengths and densities. The penetration depth was less than the radius of gyration of
