摘要

Abstract

In this work

Monte Carlo simulations are used to study the critical adsorption behaviors of flexible polymer chains under the action of an external driving force

parallel to an attractive flat surface. The critical adsorption temperature

decreases linearly with increasing

indicating that the driving force suppresses the adsorption of polymer. The conformation of polymer is also affected by the driving force. However

the effect of

is dependent on the competition between the driving force and temperature. Under strong force or at low temperature

the polymer is stretched along the direction of the force

while under weak force or at high temperature

the polymer is not stretched. When the force is comparable to the temperature

the polymer may be stretched perpendicular to the driving force

and below

we observe conformational transitions from parallel to perpendicular and again to parallel by decreasing the temperature. We found that the perpendicular stretched conformation leads the polymer chain to synchronously move along the direction of the driving force. Moreover

the conformational transitions are attributed to the competition and cooperation between the driving force and the temperature.
