De Gennes self-similar carpet

The concentration in the adsorbed layer decreases away from the surface as (f) (z/b) for exponent 0.588. This power law concentration profile in an adsorbed polymer layer was proposed by de Gennes and is called the de Gennes self-similar carpet. This profile of adsorbed polymer can be described by a set of layers ot correlation blobs with their size of order of their distance to the surface z (see Fig. 5.11). The self-similar concentration profile starts at the adsorption blob ads in the first layer. The self-similar profile ends either at the correlation length of the surrounding solution if it is semidilute or at the chain size Rf bN if the surrounding solution is dilute. [Pg.188]

Consider multichain adsorption in a 0-solvent, of dilute chains with AT monomers of size b, and with monomer surface interaction of 6kT. Calculate the density profile of the de Gennes self-similar carpet. Calculate the thickness ads of the adsorbed layer and the coverage P. [Pg.195]
