Monte Carlo computer simulations have been performed for model polymers confined in slits of thickness comparable to the transverse diameter of the chains. The density of polymer within the slits is allowed to vary with the slit thickness in such a way that the content of the slits is always in equilibrium with a large reservoir of bulk polymer. The calculations reveal the presence of polymer-mediated attractive or repulsive interactions between the slit plates, oscillating with the slit thickness in good agreement with experimental results.

Abstract
Monte Carlo computer simulations have been performed for model polymers confined in slits of thickness comparable to the transverse diameter of the chains. The density of polymer within the slits is allowed to vary with the slit thickness in such a way that the content of the slits is always in equilibrium with a large reservoir of bulk polymer. The calculations reveal the presence of polymer-mediated attractive or repulsive interactions between the slit plates, oscillating with the slit thickness in good agreement with experimental results.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
