Monte Carlo study of the two-dimensional chemically associating fluids

Abstract

Monte Carlo simulations are reported for the distribution functions, the fraction of unbonded and bonded particles, and the pressure of a chemically associating fluid of hard discs of a circularly symmetric attractive square well. Depending on the choice of the bonding length, dimers or chain molecules of different length can be formed. The dependence of the structural properties of the model on the fluid density and association energy is discussed.
