Abstract
The random sequential adsorption (RSA) of infinitely-thin line segments is studied by computer simulation. It is shown that the exponent for the time dependence of the surface coverage increases beyond the value 0.33, reported by Sherwood (1990), to a value of 0.38, at later times. It is also argued that the fractal dimension of the adsorbed lines is about 1.8 making use of a previous result on the RSA of rectangular objects.Keywords
