An extension of the conformal solution theory was given "by Davis and Rice.IT They assimie the same model ionic melt as Reiss et al, but their model also includes short-range dispersion interactions as a perturbation to the pair potential of Reiss and coworkers. 

Activities of individual components are calculated on the basis of the theory of conformal solutions (Reiss et al., 1962). This theory was derived for ionic systems without the formation of complex ions, in which both anions and cations have identical charges. This theory was later applied to systems containing ions of various valences (Saboungi and Blander, 1975). It should be emphasized that the application of this theory to silicate melts has only a formal character. 

Finally, an analytical theory of conformations of highly branched PE stars is discussed (Sect. 7). The predictions are critically compared to numerical SCF-PB results. Here we focus on the responsive properties of strongly and weakly dissociating PE star polymers, e.g., their ability to change their conformations in response to a varied ionic strength and pH in solution. Inferior solvent quality triggers conformational transitions in PE star polymers (Sect. 8). Relevant theoretical insights are reviewed and compared to MD simulation results.

Electrostatic interactions give a large deviation from ideality in equilibrium properties of solutions containing low molecular weight electrolytes. This deviation was most successfully disposed of by the Debye-Huckel theory [2]. According to this theory, the ionic species are not distributed in solution in a random manner, but form an ionic atmosphere structure, and the thermodynamic properties such as the activity coefficient of solvent (or the osmotic coefficient), the mean activity coefficient of solute, and the heat of dilution, decrease linearly with the square root of the concentration, in conformity with experimental observations.
