Ergodicity Breaking Underlies Nonequilibrium Dynamics of Individual Adsorbed Polymers at Solid–Liquid Interfaces
Time-dependent aging phenomena in polymer adsorption at solid–liquid interfaces from dilute solutions were discovered over three decades ago. However, how the properties of a single polymer chain evolve over macroscopic timescales remains poorly understood. Here, we conducted a long-term experimental study on polyeth...
