Applicability of a central force water model to study adsorption in disordered hydrophobic matrices—replica Ornstein–Zernike theory
B. Hribar-Lee
Abstract:A simple central force water model to study adsorption in random Lennard-Jones-like matrices has been studied using the replica Ornstein–Zernike integral equation theory in hypernetted-chain (HNC) approximation and in HNC+bridge approximation. The structure of water in obstacle matrices of different sizes was studied, showing that the model appropriately accounts for the hydrophobic hydration. By calculating the chemical potential of water in the model adsorbent, we have constructed the adsorption isotherm. Ex… Show more
