Your question isn't Windows-specific; ask in povray.general. You'd get 
more help.

    Heh, ok, that's way out of my league! :) Oh, look, there's Charles, he 
knows what he's doing... :)

     Good luck, and post an image in pov.binaries.images when you're done, 
I'd love to see the end result.

A follow-up question:
If the chain collapsed onto the surface, how to describe it? The collapse is
not meaning lay down flat on the surface. In chemistry, this process is
called "coil-to-globule"
transition.http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://people.clarkson.edu/~sminko/nanostructured/responsive-smart-ma

A good sample shows here:
http://people.clarkson.edu/~sminko/?nanostructured/responsive-smart-materials/responsive-polymer-brush.html

Is it challenging?

I am also trying to do something similar, and to make a micelle. Did you manage
to write a code to do something like that?
