A density functional study of the structure of a layer formed by chain molecules pinned to a solid surface is presented. The chains are modeled as freely joined spheres. Segments and all components interact via Lennard-Jones ...

We use a version of the density functional theory to study the changes in the height of the tethered layer of chains built of jointed spherical segments with the change of the length and surface density of chains. For the ...

The first-order phase transitions in the lattice model of Janus-like particles confined in slit-like pores are studied. We assume a cubic lattice with molecules that can freely change their orientation on a lattice site. ...
