Integral equation theory approach to rodlike polyelectrolytes: Counterion condensation
We investigate the structural properties of rigid linear polyelectrolytes in dilute and semidilute solutions using an integral equation theory. The Polymer Reference Interaction Site Model together with the Reference Laria Wu Chandler Closure is solved numerically taking the counterions into account explicitly. The counterions and the polymer chains, modeled as linearly connected, charged hard ...
متن کاملTheory of Polymer Melts: An Integral Equation Approach’
A general theory is developed for the equilibrium structure of dense polymer melts. This theory is based on an integral equation approach developed by Chandler and co-workers for molecular liquids. We are able to construct a tractable formalism for the polymer problem by employing the fact that a polymer molecule in a melt is ideal. This leads to a set of integral equations for the intermolecul...
متن کاملTheory of competitive counterion adsorption on flexible polyelectrolytes: divalent salts.
The counterion distribution around an isolated flexible polyelectrolyte in the presence of a divalent salt is evaluated using the adsorption model [M. Muthukumar, J. Chem. Phys. 120, 9343 (2004)] that considers the Bjerrum length, salt concentration, and local dielectric heterogeneity as physical variables in the system. Self-consistent calculations of effective charge and size of the polymer s...
متن کاملCombinations of simulation and integral equation theory
Much work has been done to accelerate the prediction of structure and thermodynamics, particularly of the chemical potential of condensed phases by means of molecular simulation, requiring large computational power or simpli®ed simulation procedures. This work demonstrates that the combination of simulation with approximate calculations based on integral equation theory provides the necessary i...
متن کاملIntegral Equation Methods in Potential Theory. II
where p, q are vector variables specifying points on L and where dq stands for the arc differential at q. As has already been pointed out (part I), this equation maynot exhibit a solution for L, but the difficulty can always be trivially obviated by a change of scale. If so, o-(q) generates potentials Oq(P), q5(P) defined by (5) and (6) of part I (Jaswon i963), where P denotes an interior or ex...
