Free Energy of Resin Deformation

4b Free energy of resin deformation. The deformation free energy of n,2 resin molecules is also expressed by an equation similar to that of asphaltene deformation. 

The first bracket on the left represents the Gibbs free energy transfer of asphaltene molecules and their deformation. The second term represents the interfacial Gibbs free energy, and the second bracket represents various terms for resin contribution to the micellization process. In Example 5.6, an alternative form of Eq. (5.64a) will be presented.
