A copolymer is a chain of repetitive units (monomers) that are almost identical, but they differ in their degree of affinity for certain solvents. This difference leads to striking phenomena when the polymer fluctuates in a nonhomogeneous…
In the monomer-polymer model, a linear rigid polymer covers $k$ adjacent lattice sites, with no lattice site occupied by more than one polymer. The polymers are called $k$-mers, and those unoccupied lattice sites are called monomers. The…
