Description

We investigate the nature of the phase diagram for a self-avoiding walk model of a random copolymer at an interface between two immiscible solvents, when one monomer prefers to be in one solvent, the other monomer prefers to be in the other solvent, and both types of monomer have an attractive or repulsive interaction with the interface. Our results are all rigorous, and extend previous work of Maritan et al (1999) and Martin et al (2000)
