abstract = {We explore the properties of adsorption of flexible
polyelectrolyte chains in confined spaces between the
oppositely charged surfaces in three basic geometries. A
method of approximate uniformly valid solutions for the
Green function equation for the eigenfunctions of polymer
density distributions is developed to rationalize the
critical adsorption conditions. The same approach was
implemented in our recent study for the "inverse" problem of
polyelectrolyte adsorption onto a planar surface, and on the
outer surface of rod-like and spherical obstacles. For the
three adsorption geometries investigated, the theory yields
simple scaling relations for the minimal surface charge
density that triggers the chain adsorption, as a function of
the Debye screening length and surface curvature. The
encapsulation of polyelectrolytes is governed by interplay
of the electrostatic attraction energy toward the adsorbing
surface and entropic repulsion of the chain squeezed into a
thin slit or small cavities. Under the conditions of
surface-mediated confinement, substantially larger polymer
linear charge densities are required to adsorb a
polyelectrolyte inside a charged spherical cavity, relative
to a cylindrical pore and to a planar slit (at the same
interfacial surface charge density). Possible biological
implications are discussed briefly in the end.},
