Structural Arrangements of Polymers Adsorbed at Nanostrings
arXiv:1103.1870 · doi:10.1016/j.phpro.2010.08.020
Abstract
We study ground states of a hybrid system consisting of a polymer and an attractive nanowire by means of computer simulations. Depending on structural and energetic properties of the substrate, we find different adsorbed polymer conformations, amongst which are spherical droplets attached to the wire and monolayer tubes surrounding it. We construct the complete conformational phase diagram and analyze in more detail particularly interesting polymer-tube conformations.
