Statistical thermodynamic foundation for mesoscale aggregation in ternary mixtures
Literature Information
Seishi Shimizu
Ternary solvent mixtures with two mutually miscible and one immiscible solvent pairings often exhibit persistent scattering profiles corresponding to mesoscale structure formation. Despite the morphological information on such mesostructures via extensive scattering measurements and simulation, the origin of these mesostructures, why they persist over a wide composition range, and why they appear around the plait point have remained a mystery. Here we answer all these questions through constructing a fundamental molecular thermodynamic theory, by utilizing thermodynamic stability, scattering and the fluctuation solution theory. The plait point condition, when interpreted via differential geometry, is shown to be the origin of the large structure factor persistent over a wide composition range.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
