Adsorption of random copolymers: A scaling analysis
We report on results from Monte Carlo simulations of a single random copolymer adsorbed on a homogeneous planar surface. Although the critical crossover exponent is unaltered with respect to the case of homogeneous polymers, it is found that the scaling behavior is changed by the fraction of adsorptive monomers of the chain. In particular, we present some explicit expressions for energy and radius of gyration at low temperatures.
