Interaction of Colloidal Particles with Macromolecules: The RISM Integral Equation Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
A microscopic theory of the mixtures of polymer chains and colloidal particles immersed in a common solvent is developed on the basis of the RIS~I integral equation technique. The obtained general equations enable the calculation of the correlation functions and thermodynamic characteristics of the system at an arbitrary ratio of the components. The the, ory is used for a comprehensive study of interaction of small spherical particles with flexible polymer chains in the regimes of weak and strong adsorption of the macromolecules on the surface of the particles. The temperature and concentration regions characterized by different effect of the polymer on stability of the colloidal dispersion are determined. The corresponding temperature-concentration diagrams of state are constructed.

Electronic structure theory under the influence of apolar solvents suffers from substantial methodical difficulties since in this case the solvent-induced solute polarization originates mainly from specific directional interactions and higher electric multipoles. Continuum solvation models based on the dielectric solvent response such as the PCM approach ignore such interactions and can therefo...

متن کاملReference interaction site model and optimized perturbation theories of colloidal dumbbells with increasing anisotropy.
We investigate thermodynamic properties of anisotropic colloidal dumbbells in the frameworks provided by the Reference Interaction Site Model (RISM) theory and an Optimized Perturbation Theory (OPT), this latter based on a fourth-order high-temperature perturbative expansion of the free energy, recently generalized to molecular fluids. Our model is constituted by two identical tangent hard sphe...
