“…However, scientists have only made the first steps in that direction. Up to now, they have formulated FT models of polarizable polymer solutions [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] , salt solutions of polar and multipolar molecules 37,38,50,51 , electrolyte solutions with an explicit account of the polar solvent and ion polarizability 35,36,[52][53][54][55][56] , solutions of liquid crystalline ionic fluids 40,57 , aqueous solutions of the intrinsically disordered proteins 58,59 , and a cluster model of ionic liquids 60 . Despite the evident success achieved in applications of the FT methods to complex ion-molecular systems, they still remain underestimated by chemical engineers and materials scientists, in comparison with the coarse-grained MD simulation methods or the above mentioned RISM theory.…”
