“…7,21,25 was given by Dolinnyi. [28][29][30] The regime of very long chains (N → ∞) close to the unmixing critical point of the bulk has been considered most extensively to date; there, all bulk properties (including the interface tension γ vl , which in this approach coincides with Widom's 19 description) are described by simple power laws in terms of the distance from the critical point; the corresponding prefactors are also simple powers of N . In that region, wetting phase diagrams are presented, and the conditions for the occurrence of critical and tricritical wetting are derived, similar to the earlier studies of polymer blends.…”

Wetting and drying phenomena are studied for flexible and semiflexible polymer solutions via coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations. The study is based on the use of Young's equation for the contact angle, determining all relevant surface tensions from the anisotropy of the pressure tensor. The solvent quality (or effective temperature, equivalently) is varied systematically, while all other interactions remain unaltered. For flexible polymers, the wetting transition temperature T w increases monotonically with chain length N , while the contact angle at temperatures far below T w is independent of N . For semiflexible polymer solutions, T w varies non-monotonically with the persistence length: Initially, T w increases with increasing chain stiffness and reaches a maximum, but then a sudden drop of T w is observed, which is associated with the isotropic-nematic transition of the system.

This study is based on the use of Young’s equation for the contact angle, determining all relevant surface tensions from the anisotropy of the pressure tensor. The solvent quality (or effective temperature, equivalently) is varied systematically, while all other interactions remain unaltered. For flexible polymers, the wetting transition temperature Tw increases monotonically with chain length N, while the contact angle at temperatures far below Tw is independent of N. For semiflexible polymer solutions, Tw varies non-monotonically with the persistence length: Initially, Tw increases with increasing chain stiffness and reaches a maximum, but then a sudden drop of Tw is observed, which is associated with the isotropic–nematic transition of the system.
