Abstract
We investigate the effect of solute/solvent size ratio on the solvent mediated potential of mean force between solutes at infinite dilution. Predictions of Landau—Ginzburg mean field theory are compared with a Percus—Yevick—hypernetted chain theory of a mixture of infinitely dilute hard sphere solutes in a solvent of hard spheres with surface adhesion (sticky spheres).
