Abstract
In the present study, we have investigated, using Monte Carlo simulations (MC), the adsorption of polyelectrolytes on the charged nanopatterned surfaces. Different surface patterns were considered and we noticed that the amount of adsorption is directly dependent on the size of the domains. Also in the case of checkerboard configuration, it was observed that the polyelectrolytes are aligned along the diagonal of square domains.
