Abstract: Monte Carlo simulation method was used to simulate the adsorption of diblock copolymers on solid-liquid interface.The adsorption information, such as total segment density and segment concentration profiles, bound fraction, surface coverage and adsorption amount, are obtained.The effect of attractive segment content f and its adsorption energy was inspected.It is shown that the adsorption amount increases with increasing f when adsorption energy is relatively small.However, if adsorption energy have a larger value, the adsorption amount increases with increasing f at first and reaches a maximum about f=0.5,then decreases with increasing f.This trend coincides well with the experimental results of Tiberg et al.
