Abstract
Section 10 in Chapter 4 is concerned with a two-component single-stranded polymer: the two components are mixed together in the same strand (see also Section 27). Most of this chapter (Sections 16, 17, and 18) deals with a some- what related problem;1 two different components grow separate pure strands from a surface, but the strands are adjacent to each other and interact laterally so that there is some degree of cooperativity between them. This problem has a certain intrinsic interest in relation to self-assembly of various structures. In addition, the possibility of a “vernier effect” (Ref. 2, p. 126) can be studied using this model; this is the subject of Sections 16 and 17.
