What is it about?

Develops a continuum theory for water, which can describe the behavior of water interacting with hydrophobic objects ranging in size from the atomic scale to macroscopic dimensions.

Why is it important?

This paper extends a recent trend of work introducing classical density functionals based on the statistical associating fluid theory. It is distinctive in that it is constructed to handle density fluctuations at a molecular length scale, opening the way to use as a solvent model for water.
