Title Integral equation theory for polymer solutions: explicit inclusion of the solvent molecules
Date 2001
Description Self-consistent Polymer Reference Interaction Site Model (PRISM) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed on athermal solutions of linear polymers. Unlike most previous treatments of polymer solutions, we explicitly included the solvent molecules. The polymers were modeled as tangent site chains and the solvent molecules were taken to be spherical sites having the same intermolecular potential as the polymer sites.
