Polyelectrolyte or polyampholyte solutions are modeled as freely tangent-jointed, charged hard-sphere chains and corresponding counterions in a continuum medium with permitivity. A molecular thermodynamic model is then derived from statistical mechanic theory for chemical association. Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation considering viscous force from solvent and stochastic force from heat-bath, the osmotic coefficients of polyelectrolyte and polyampholyte solutions are obtained. The predicted osmotic coefficients by the molecular thermodynamic model are agreed with those by MD simulation for the homogeneous polyelectrolyte solutions and for polyampholyte solutions. However, the predicted results by theoretical model have some divergence for the heterogeneous polyelectrolyte solutions with different segment diameters of polyion, which shows that the molecular thermodynamic model of polyelectrolyte solutions should be farther improved. The predicted results for the osmotic coefficient of polyampholyte solution are better than the results of polyelectrolyte solution.

Key words: polyelectrolyte, polyampholyte, molecular thermodynamic model, molecular dynamic simulation
