Figure 1. Snapshots of the two simulated adsorption scenarios.

Filaments were first equilibrated in 3D. Left images illustrate the case of strong chain-surface interaction. Right images illustrate the case of weak chain-surface interaction. The upper images show the point of first contact between chain and surface (time 0 ms). The middle images show snapshots during the deposition process (time: 2 ms left image; 4 ms right image). The lower images show conformations of the fully adsorbed chains (time about 8 ms).
