Sustainability and greenness are the concepts of growing interest in the area of research as
well as industries. One of the frequently encountered challenges faced in research and …

We examine quantitatively the solute-size dependences of the effective interactions between
nonpolar solutes in water and in a simple liquid. The potential w (r) of mean force and the …

Mixtures of three solvents, with two immiscible liquids and a third one miscible to both–the
solvotrope, may exhibit structuration. We explore the phase diagram of n …

Ion-specific effects on the solubility of nonpolar solutes and on the solute–solute
hydrophobic interaction in aqueous electrolyte solutions are studied on the basis of a …

We present a continuum theory of electrolytes composed of a waterlike solvent and
univalent ions. First, we start with a density functional F for the coarse-grained solvent …

To gain quantitative insight into how the overall strength of the hydrophobic interaction
varies with the molecular size, we calculate osmotic second virial coefficients B for …

Hydrotropes, the substances consisting of small amphiphilic molecules, demonstrate striking
duality in aqueous solutions and at the oil–water interface. The question arises, how do …

Water is the most anomalous material on Earth, with a long list of thermodynamic, dynamic
and structural behaviors that deviate from what is expected. Recent studies have indicated …

The introduction of cosolvents and other additives significantly has a profound impact on the
physicochemical properties and phases of solutions. This study develops a thermodynamic …

We present a statistical mechanical theory of multi-component fluids, where we consider the
correlation functions of the number densities and the energy density in the grand canonical …
