Influence of solvent quality on polymer solutions: a Monte Carlo study of bulk and interfacial properties.
The effect of solvent quality on dilute and semidilute regimes of polymers in solution is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The equation of state, adsorption near a hard wall, wall-polymer surface tension, and effective depletion potential are all calculated as a function of concentration...

| description | The effect of solvent quality on dilute and semidilute regimes of polymers in solution is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The equation of state, adsorption near a hard wall, wall-polymer surface tension, and effective depletion potential are all calculated as a function of concentration and solvent quality. We find important differences between polymers in good and theta solvents. In the dilute regime, the physical properties for polymers in a theta solvent closely resemble those of ideal polymers. In the semidilute regime, however, significant differences are found. |
