Abstract

We use a recently developed continuum theory to present an exact treatment of the interfacial properties of ideal polymers displaying Schulz–Flory polydispersity. Our results are remarkably compact and can be derived from the properties of equilibrium, ideal polymers at interfaces. We apply our theory to a number of cases, including, non-adsorbing and adsorbing surfaces, as well as telechelic chains.
