Abstract
A self-consistent field (SCF) theory for the adsorption of polyelectro lyte chains onto oppositely charged spheres is considered. It is demon strated that the criterion for critical adsorption shows a different b ehavior for small and large curvature of the surface. Experiments give indeed evidence for the power-law behavior as theoretically predicted for large curvature.
