      abstract     = {Polymer adsorption is a fundamental problem in statistical
                      mechanics that has direct relevance to diversedisciplines
                      ranging from biological lubrication to stability of
                      colloidal suspensions. We combine experimentswith computer
                      simulations to investigate depletion induced adsorption of
                      semi-flexible polymers onto ahard-wall. Three dimensional
                      filament configurations of partially adsorbed F-actin
                      polymers are visualizedwith total internal reflection
                      fluorescence microscopy. This information is used to
                      determine the location ofthe adsorption/desorption
                      transition and extract the statistics of trains, tails and
                      loops of partially adsorbedfilament configurations. In
                      contrast to long flexible filaments which primarily desorb
                      by the formation ofloops, the desorption of stiff,
                      finite-sized filaments is largely driven by fluctuating
                      filament tails. Simulationsquantitatively reproduce our
                      experimental data and allow us to extract universal laws
                      that explain scalingof the adsorption–desorption
                      transition with relevant microscopic parameters. Our results
                      demonstratehow the adhesion strength, filament stiffness,
                      length, as well as the configurational space accessible
                      tothe desorbed filament can be used to design the
                      characteristics of filament adsorption and thus
