Analytical theory of ideal polydisperse polymers at interfaces

Author

Summary, in English

We use a recently developed continuum theory to present an exact treatment of the interfacial properties of ideal polymers displaying Schulz-Flory polydispersity. Our results are remarkably compact and can be derived from the properties of equilibrium, ideal polymers at interfaces. We apply our theory to a number of cases, including, non-adsorbing and adsorbing surfaces, as well as telechelic chains.
