We investigate a lattice model of comb polymers and derive bounds on the exponential growth rate of the number of embeddings of the comb. A comb is composed of a backbone that is a self-avoiding walk and a set of $t$ teeth, also modelled as mutually

Polymers in confined spaces are compressed and have reduced conformational entropy, and will partially or fully escape from confinement if conditions are suitable. This is in particular the case for a polymer grafted in a pore. The escape of the poly

We investigate a lattice model of comb copolymers that can adsorb at a surface and that are subject to a force causing desorption. The teeth and the backbone of the comb are chemically distinct and can interact differently with the surface. That is,

The distribution of monomers in a coating of grafted and adsorbing polymers is modelled using a grafted staircase polygon in the square lattice. The adsorbing staircase polygon consists of a bottom and a top lattice path (branches) and the asymptotic

A linear polymer grafted to a hard wall and underneath an AFM tip can be modelled in a lattice as a grafted lattice polymer (or self-avoiding walk) compressed underneath a piston approaching the wall. As the piston approaches the wall the increasingl

The distribution of monomers along a linear polymer grafted on a hard wall is modelled by determining the probability distribution of occupied vertices of Dyck and ballot path models of adsorbing linear polymers. For example, the probability that a D

Two ring polymers close to each other in space may be either in a segregated phase if there is a strong repulsion between monomers in the polymers, or intermingle in a mixed phase if there is a strong attractive force between the monomers. These phas

The surface entropic exponents of half-space lattice stars grafted at their central nodes in a hard wall are estimated numerically using the PERM algorithm. In the square half-lattice the exact values of the exponents are verified, including Barber's

We consider a model of star copolymers, based on self-avoiding walks, where the arms of the star can be chemically distinct. The copolymeric star is attached to an impenetrable surface at a vertex of unit degree and the different monomers constitutin

Numerical values of lattice star entropic exponents $\gamma_f$, and star vertex exponents $\sigma_f$, are estimated using parallel implementations of the PERM and Wang-Landau algorithms. Our results show that the numerical estimates of the vertex exp
