The adsorption of polyethylene with different chain lengths on a silicon (111) surface is studied via molecular dynamics simulations. The relative dielectric constant is selected to be 1 and 78.0 to mimic in vacuum and in solution environment, respectively. Different configurations and dynamic properties are found in the two absolutely different environments, showing that the solvent condition plays an obvious role in the process of chain adsorption and diffusion on the hydrophobic surface. The chain all present as two-dimensional (2D) adsorption configuration on the surface. The adsorption energy of different chain lengths follows a linear function, and the average adsorption energy per segment is -1.58 kcal/mol. In addition, the diffusion coefficient (D) of such chains scales with the degree of polymerization (N) as N-3/2.
