Abstract

We discuss the adsorption of polymer solutions on chemically heterogeneous surfaces. Two types of heterogeneities are considered, annealed and quenched. In both cases, the disorder increases the adsorption. For a same adsorption strength, the adsorbed amount of polymer is higher on an annealed surface than on a quenched surface. The adsorption on an annealed surface can induce a two‐dimensional phase transition on the surface.
