16 Aug 1997 | | Subject: | Statistical Mechanics; Soft Condensed Matter | cond-mat.stat-mech cond-mat.soft | | Abstract: | The equilibrium properties of a tangent-hard-sphere polymer chain in a hard sphere monomer solvent are studied using a Born-Green-Yvon integral equation in conjunction with a two-site solvation potential. The solvation potential is constructed using low density results for a hard-sphere trimer in a hard sphere solvent. The BGY equation has been solved for polymers of lengths up to 100 for a range of solvent densities and solvent diameters. The theory accurately describes the compression of the average polymer dimensions with increasing solvent density. The theory also accurately describes the variation in this compression as a function of the solvent diameter, predicting a maximum effect when the solvent diameter is two to three times larger than the polymer site diameter. Scaling exponents relating the polymer dimensions to chain length and solvent density are also obtained. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/9708122 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
