Título: | Generalization of Wertheim's theory for the assembly of various types of rings |
Autor: | Tavares, J. M.; Almarza, Noé G. CSIC ORCID; Telo da Gama, M. M. | Fecha de publicación: | 2015 | Editor: | Royal Society of Chemistry (UK) | Citación: | Soft Matter 11: 5828- 5838 (2015) | Resumen: | This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry. We generalize Wertheim's first order perturbation theory to account for the effect in the thermodynamics of the self-assembly of rings characterized by two energy scales. The theory is applied to a lattice model of patchy particles and tested against Monte Carlo simulations on a fcc lattice. These particles have 2 patches of type A and 10 patches of type B, which may form bonds AA or AB that decrease the energy by ε<inf>AA</inf> and by ε<inf>AB</inf> ≡ rε<inf>AA</inf>, respectively. The angle between the 2 A-patches on each particle is fixed at 60°, 90° or 120°. For values of r below 1/2 and above a threshold r<inf>th</inf> the models exhibit a phase diagram with two critical points. Both theory and simulation predict that r<inf>th</inf> increases when θ decreases. We show that the mechanism that prevents phase separation for models with decreasing values of θ is related to the formation of loops containing AB bonds. Moreover, we show that by including the free energy of B-rings (loops containing one AB bond), the theory describes the trends observed in the simulation results, but that for the lowest values of θ, the theoretical description deteriorates due to the increasing number of loops containing more than one AB bond. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/130656 | DOI: | 10.1039/c5sm00559k | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1039/c5sm00559k issn: 1744-6848 |
