“…Another possibility is to include continuous modulation, as opposite to reduction, of the attraction. Within the SHS framework, this can be done, for instance, by the following Boltzmann factor (Gazzillo et al 2008, Gazzillo 2010, 2011 e(12) = e HS (r) + t ǫ(1, 2) σδ (r 12 − σ) , (6.6) ǫ(1, 2) = 1 + αD(1, 2), (6.7)…”

Application of integral equation theory to complex fluids is reviewed, with particular emphasis to the effects of polydispersity and anisotropy on their structural and thermodynamic properties. Both analytical and numerical solutions of integral equations are discussed within the context of a set of minimal potential models that have been widely used in the literature. While other popular theoretical tools, such as numerical simulations and density functional theory, are superior for quantitative and accurate predictions, we argue that integral equation theory still provides, as in simple fluids, an invaluable technique that is able to capture the main essential features of a complex system, at a much lower computational cost. In addition, it can provide a detailed description of the angular dependence in arbitrary frame, unlike numerical simulations where this information is frequently hampered by insufficient statistics. Applications to colloidal mixtures, globular proteins and patchy colloids are discussed, within a unified framework.
