Abstract

In this work, it is proposed a perturbation theory in conjunction with the Convex Peg HERSW model and an adjustable intermolecular potential. The perturbation theory developed can quantitatively predict the density–pressure–temperature experimental behavior at the isotropic–nematic phase transition of MBBA at 1 atm.
