Universal shape ratios for polymers grafted at a flat surface
arXiv:cond-mat/0204110 · doi:10.1063/1.1506306
Abstract
We consider dilute non-adsorbed polymers grafted at an impenetrable surface and compute several quantities which characterize the polymer shape: the asphericity and the ratios of the eigenvalues of the radius-of-gyration tensor. The results are only slightly different from those obtained for polymers in the bulk, showing that the surface has little influence on the polymer shape.
