Title: Theories of hydrophobic effects and the description of free volume in complex liquids

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/319667· OSTI ID:319667

Recent progress on molecular theories of hydration of nonpolar solutes in liquid aqueous solution has lead to new ways to thinking about the old issue of free volume in liquids. This article surveys the principal new results with particular attention to the context of general issues of packing in liquids.
