Rism Methodology and Its Application to Orientational Correlations and to Excess Electrons in Liquids
A theory is presented for the orientational pair correlation factor, g(,2), of a molecular liquid in the interaction site picture. It is based on the so-called proper integral equation theory of molecular fluids and leads to a cluster series expansion for g(,2). A topological reduction which …

Liquid State Theory of Equilibrium Structure and Thermodynamics of Block Copolymer Melts and Solutions
A liquid state integral equation theory has been developed to study the thermodynamics and structures of fluids of multiblock polymers both with nonpolar and strongly attracting groups. The physical clustering/aggregation process is probed via the calculation of small and wide angle scattering …

Depletion Attractions Between Hard Spheres: Comparisons of Theory and Experiment
… Polymer Reference Interaction Site Model (PRISM) integral equation theory of athermal polymercolloid suspensions is in agreement with the experimental observations. PRISM is also very successful in predicting the compressibility curves if cp/cp* is taken as an adjustable parameter. Polymer-polymer …

Statistical mechanical theory of equilibrium structure and miscibility of polymer nanocomposites: effects of polymer chemical heterogeneity and architecture, and nanoparticle surface corrugation and softness
… Polymer Reference Interaction Site Model (PRISM) theory is extended and applied to study the thermodynamics, statistical structure, and miscibility of diverse polymer nanocomposites (PNCs). Under chemistry-matched conditions and in the absence of interfacial attractions between a spherically …

Role of strong attractive forces on the dynamics and mechanics of glass and gel forming soft materials
… is creating an unified predictive microscopic theory of these systems for local and chemistry-specific relaxation processes at the level of forces that relates interactions, structure, dynamics and mechanics. A major specific interest is how strong short-range attractive interactions that …
