The copolymer behavior in a physically confined environment is influenced not only by the competition of entropy to enthalpy of chains as in homogenous solutions, but also by the interaction with walls, spatial restriction and confinement-induced entropy loss. These effects provide opportunities to observe specific effects and to obtain novel nanostructures useful for advanced applications. Further, the detailed knowledge of the conformational and self-assembling behavior is necessary also for correct interpretation of results of separation techniques which assume the flow of polymer solution through microporous media. Their interpretation requires the understanding of the competition and cooperation of thermodynamic and hydrodynamic effects on the conformational and sorption behavior of copolymers confined in pores. As the interplay and feedback of different effects (caused mainly by the interactions between all pairs of present compounds and by the proximity of the geometric constraints) have not been studied in all details yet, we submit simulation project aimed at the conformational behavior and self-assembly of complex polymer system in confined space.
