【 摘 要 】

The aim is a quantitative study of the structure of the Pickering emulsionsthat are stabilized by charged nanoparticles. We assume that the interaction potential between droplets is of Sogami type. First, we compute the structural properties using the Integral Equation Method with the so-called hybridized-mean spherical approximation (HMSA). Finally, the validity of this method is tested by confronting the results of the correlation functions found by HMSA integral equation with those from Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations.
