Popis: International audience; This work consists of the adaptation of a non-additive hard sphere theory inspired by Malakhov and Volkov, Polym. Sci. Ser. A. 2007;49(6):745-756 to a square-well chain. Using the thermodynamic perturbation theory, an additional term is proposed that describes the effect of perturbing the chain of square well spheres by a non-additive parameter. In order to validate this development, NPT Monte Carlo simulations of thermodynamic and structural properties of the non-additive square well (NASW) for a pure chain and a binary mixture of chains are performed. Good agreements are observed between the compressibility factor originating from the theory and those from molecular simulations.
