The percolation cluster is characterized by a fractal dimension d(s) (p(c))=91/49. The conformational properties of polymer chains grafted to such a fractal substrate are studied by means of the pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method. We find estimates for the surface crossover exponent governing the scaling of the adsorption energy in the vicinity of transition point, φ(s)(p(c))=0.425±0.009, and for adsorption transition temperature, T(A)(p(c))=2.64±0.02. As expected, the adsorption is diminished when the fractal dimension of the substrate is smaller than that of a plain Euclidean surface. The universal size and shape characteristics of a typical spatial conformation which attains a polymer chain in the adsorbed state are analyzed as well.
