Model colloid–polymer mixtures in porous matrices: density functional versus integral equations

M Schmidt, E Schöll-Paschinger… - Journal of Physics …, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
We test the accuracy of a recently proposed density functional (DF) for a fluid in contact with
a porous matrix. The DF was constructed in the spirit of Rosenfeld's fundamental measure …
