Abstract
We have studied the structural properties of a fluid of linear polymer chains under the external field of a disordered porous matrix, represented by a frozen liquid configuration of star polymer particles. To this end, and using a coarse-grained description of both fluid and matrix, we have applied the replica Ornstein-Zernike formalism to this particular case where soft and ultra-soft interparticle potentials have come into play. Our systematic investigations point out how the matrix influences the structural properties of the confined polymer fluid.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
