The visualization of polymer structures at the molecular level is one of the most important
issues in polymer science; however, even using scanning probe microscopy techniques …

We give an extended review of recent numerical and analytical studies on semiflexible
chains near surfaces undertaken at Institut Charles Sadron (sometimes in collaboration) with …

The dynamical properties of a long polymer ring in a melt of unknotted and unconcatenated
rings are calculated. We re-examine and generalize the well known model of a ring confined …

The behavior of polymer melts under cylindrical confinement was investigated using
molecular dynamics simulations. A range of polymer chains, from unentangled to highly …

Self-avoiding polymers in strictly two-dimensional (d= 2) melts are investigated by means of
molecular dynamics simulation of a standard bead-spring model with chain lengths ranging …

The behavior of polymer melts under planar confinement was investigated using molecular
dynamics simulations. Polymers with a range of lengths, from unentangled to highly …

Polymer Langmuir monolayers spread on a water surface are one of the best models for two-
dimensional (2D) polymer and have been extensively studied. However, the most …

Polymer chains composing a polymer solution in strict two dimensions (2D) are
characterized with irregular domain boundaries, whose fractal dimension (D∂) varies with …

Dense self-avoiding polymer chains in strictly two dimensions are compact objects with
fractal contours. Using scaling arguments and molecular dynamics simulations (with …

It has been assumed until very recently that all long-range correlations are screened in three-
dimensional melts of linear homopolymers on distances beyond the correlation length ξ …
