Advances in Chemical Physics. 1996;165-260 John Wiley & Sons Inc, New York, This article focuses on results obtained with the recently developed single chain mean-field theory of end-tethered chains, demonstrating quantitative agreement with computer simulations. Comparisons to experiment, new theoretical results, and much of the earlier work on end-tethered polymers are also discussed.

Such phenomena is of general interest to all surface-interacting polymer systems, and poses clear implications to sensing and biorecognition applications.

Effects of ionic strength and counterion valency on adsorption of hydrophobically modified polyelectrolytes. of special interest Macromolecules. 29:1996;7299-7301 In addition to a threshold salt concentration below which no adsorption occurred, these data report pronounced changes in adsorbed amount of end-tethered charged chains for different valency of salt but same ionic strength. This suggests strong, as yet not fully understood, relationship between chain conformation and salt valency.
