Forward Flux Sampling of Polymer Desorption Paths from a Solid Surface into Dilute Solution

We compute desorption rates for isolated polymers adsorbed to a solid wall with a rare event sampling technique called multilevel splitting, also known as forward flux sampling. We interpret computed rates with theories based on the conjecture that the product tdesDRg2 of the desorption time tdes an...
