Abstract: In the random sequential adsorption (RSA) of unoriented anisotropic objects onto a flat uniform surface, the saturation coverage, θα(∞), goes to zero when the aspect ratio α of the objects becomes infinite. By scaling arguments, we show that θα(∞) follows a power law α−p, where p = 1(1 + 2√2). The fractal dimension of the system of adsorbed needles (α→+∞) is also discussed.
