4. There have been works on molecular adsorption, in particular, on its dependence on phase states of polymers and gels. These studies mostly used non-specific hydrophobic interaction. The affinity changes in response to polymer density changes triggered by temperature. See, for example, M. Yamato et al., Connect. Tissue 31, 13 (1999).
