Fig. 5. Monte Carlo simulation results (A–C) corresponding to central and wall phases for the same parameters. One may also observe a further distinction of wall phases, in terms of the number of clumps at the wall corresponding to different (meta)stable configurations. Also shown is a phase map (D) of likely conformations of polymers tethered in a cylindrical geometry will reside, for the ε and σ defined by eqn (1), in a pore of radius 25 nm, with 40 nups of length 100 nm and segment length 1 nm. As one increases the strength of the attractive interactions between the nups, there is a greater likelihood for polymers to be found in the centre of the pore (green), whereas for weaker interactions the polymers are more likely to be found near the wall of the pore (blue).
