Abstract
We are reporting results of dynamic Monte Carlo simulations on the irreversible adsorption of single polymer chains. We find that the irreversibility of the surface‐segment interaction results in trapping of segments exclusively in trains and loops but no tails. Such nonequilibrium effects are also observed in reversible adsorption simulations for large adsorption energies per segment (≥2kT).Keywords
