Abstract
We apply the integral equation theory to study the solvent-induced potential of mean force between two passivated nanoparticles in dilute solution. This approach explicitly accounts for the molecular structure of the solvent and the anisotropy of its density profile induced by the pair of nanoparticles. We discuss the implications of our theoretical results for the problem of self-assembly of nanoparticles, and point out significant differences from the commonly used continuum solvent model.
