Macromolecular theory of solvation and structure in mixtures of colloids and polymers | | M. Fuchs

9 Apr 2001 | | Subject: | Soft Condensed Matter; Statistical Mechanics | cond-mat.soft cond-mat.stat-mech | | Abstract: | The structural and thermodynamic properties of mixtures of colloidal spheres and non-adsorbing polymer chains are studied within a novel general two-component macromolecular liquid state approach applicable for all size asymmetry ratios. The dilute limits, when one of the components is at infinite dilution but the other concentrated, are presented and compared to field theory and models which replace polymer coils with spheres. Whereas the derived analytical results compare well, qualitatively and quantitatively, with mean-field scaling laws where available, important differences from ``effective sphere’’ approaches are found for large polymer sizes or semi-dilute concentrations. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0104154 | | Other source: | [GID 272656] pmid11497596 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
