Force-induced desorption of copolymeric comb polymers
EJ Janse van Rensburg, CE Soteros, SG Whittington
We investigate a lattice model of comb copolymers that can adsorb at a surface and that are subject to a force causing desorption. The teeth and the backbone of the comb are chemic…

Force-induced desorption of uniform block copolymers
EJ Janse van Rensburg, CE Soteros, SG Whittington
We investigate self-avoiding walk models of linear block copolymers adsorbed at a surface and desorbed by the action of a force. We rigorously establish the dependence of the free…
