摘要

We propose an improved version of Wertheim's first order thermodynamic perturbation theory for the square-well m-point model of patchy colloids. Our version of the theory takes into account changes in the free volume of the system due to bond formation. The new theory is a significant improvement, giving good agreement with Monte Carlo simulations of the model.
