Reference molecular mean-spherical

The simplest molecular closure based on the above ideas is one that builds in the hard core reference behavior and correctly treats the longer ranged attractive potentials in the weak coupling limit. It is called the Reference Molecular Mean Spherical Approximation (RMMSA) and is given in real space for a homopolymer blend by [68-70]... 

FH = Flory-Huggins GF = generalized Flory GFD = generalized Flory dimer HNC = hypemetted chain HTA = high temperature approximation IFJC = ideal freely joined chain ISM = interaction site model LCT = lattice cluster theory MS = Martynov-Sarkisov PMMA = polymethyl methacrylate PRISM = polymer reference interaction site model PVME = polyvinylmethylether PS = polystyrene PY = Percus-Yevick RMMSA = reference molecule mean spherical approximation RMPY = reference molecular Percus-Yevick SANS = small angle neutron scattering SFC = semiflexible chain TPT = thermodynamic perturbation theory. 

The reported results for equilibrium properties were obtained by means of the standard Monte Carlo (MC), molecular dynamics (MD), and Gibbs ensemble (GE) simulation methods [23, 24], For the trial systems of a finite range the simple spherical cutoff was used, whereas in simulations of the full systems either the Ewald summation or the reaction field method were used. For further technical details we refer the reader to the original papers.
