We have performed chain-growth simulations of minimalistic hybrid lattice models for polymers interacting with interfaces of attractive solid substrates in order to gain insights into the conformational transitions of the polymers in the adsorption process. Primarily focusing on the dependence of the conformational behavior on temperature and solubility we obtained pseudophase diagrams with a detailed structure of conformational subphases. In the study of hydrophobic-polar peptides in the vicinity of different types of substrates, we found a noticeable substrate specificity of the assembly of hydrophobic domains in the conformations dominating the adsorption subphases.
