Abstract
On the basis of a simple lattice model, the adsorption of a polymer chain on a surface is discussed, taking excluded volume effects (intrachain interactions) into account. Configurations of finite chains of n elements (self‐avoiding walks) are enumerated exactly for n ≤ 13 on the simple cubic lattice. Some predictions concerning the asymptotic behavior of long chains are derived from these data by using extrapolation methods previously devised by Domb and Sykes for bulk properties.
