โฆ Synopsis
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 by Rubin. The attainment of the asymptote is found to become more rapid as 0 increases. For a given chain length, N, as 0 is varied, there is a smooth transition in the value of z at Bc even for as high a value of N = 250 in contrast to the sharp transition predicted by the asymptotic solution.

The emission anisotropies of PBLG-RhB [rhodamine B chemically bound to the terminal amino group of poly(7-benzyl L-glutamate)] have been measured in a semi-concentrated solution of PBLG. The results show that the extent of the aggregation behaviour of PBLG gradually increases with increasing concent
