These objects upon adsorption can protrude outside the substrate and in turn can obstruct and hence reject the adsorption of newly arriving objects. Adsorption of linear macromolecules (modeled as infinitesimally thin needles), on a two-dimensional continuum substrate is studied using RSBA model. It is shown analytically that in late time regime, the number n(t) of adsorbed objects at time t follows a power law n(t) similar to t(alpha), as in RSA, but with a different exponent</p>10aAdsorption10aadsorption kinetics10aMonte Carlo simulations10arandom sequential adsorption (RSA)1 aShelke, Pradip, B.1 aBanpurkar, Arun, G.1 aOgale, S., B.1 aLimaye, A., V.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/blocking-effects-irreversible-adsorption-linear-macromolecules-0
