Non-monotonic behavior of weak-polyelectrolytes adsorption on a cationic surface: a Monte Carlo simulation study

In this work, the weak polyelectrolyte (PE) adsorption on a strong cationic surface is studied with constant pH Monte Carlo simulations using a coarse-grained model. When a large number of PE chains is added to the system, the PE adsorbed amount vs pH curve exhibits a nonmonotonic behavior, with the...
