Closure to the PRISM equation derived from nonlinear response theory.
Nonlinear response theory is employed to derive a closure to the polymer reference interaction site model equation. The closure applies to a liquid of neutral polymers at melt densities. It can be considered a molecular generalization of the mean spherical approximation (MSA) closure of Lebowitz and Percus to the atomic Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation and is similar in some aspects to the reference "molecular" MSA (R-MMSA) closure of Schweizer and Yethiraj to PRISM. For a model binary blend of freely-jointed chains, the new closure predicts an unmixing critical temperature, Tc, via the susceptibility route that scales linearly with molecular weight, N, in agreement with Flory theory. Predictions for Tc of the new closure differ greatest from those of the R-MMSA at intermediate N, the latter being about 40% higher than the former there, but at large N, both theories give about the same values. For an isotopic blend of polyethylene, the new and R-MMSA closures predict a Tc about 25% higher than the experimental value, which is only moderately less accurate than the prediction of atomic OZ-MSA theory for Tc of methane. In this way, the derivation and its consequences help to identify the ingredients in a theory needed to properly model the equilibrium properties of a polymeric liquid at both short and long lengthscales.
