Abstract: Low-energy structures of a hybrid system consisting of a polymer and an attractive nanowire substrate as well as the thermodynamics of the adsorption transition are studied by means of Monte Carlo computer simulations. Depending on structural and energetic properties of the substrate, we find different adsorbed polymer conformations, amongst which are spherical droplets attached to the wire and monolayer tubes surrounding it. We identify adsorption temperatures and the type of the transition between adsorbed and desorbed structures depending on the substrate attraction strength. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
