where dr^M = drι<7r₂ ■ ■ ■ Лгм represents a set of differential volume, ⅛(γ^m) is the
bonding potential which represents the chain connectivity.

where M is the number of segments in the chain. On the contrary, the excess free
energy was derived as a functional of the segment densities. It is decomposed as

PA^EX[p_M\ = у dr (Φ⅛√r)}] + Φ^c'^ιαi"[K(r)}]) ,        (3.17)

where Φ^λ'^s[{π_q(γ)}] and Φ^chαm[{n_ct(r)}] are the reduced free energy densities due to
hard sphere repulsion and chain connectivity, respectively, and {n_α(r)} is the set of
the weighted densities. Both {n_α(r)} and Φ^hs[{n_ct(r)}] are computed from FMT. The
chain connectivity term is based on SAFT for a bulk fluid. For a bulk fluid it is given
by,

φ^cftoi"^ιb ₌ lzJH_pιfcι_nyW(_σι)                    (₃.₁₈)

where p₁b is the bulk segment density and y∏^,6(σ₁) is the contact value of the cavity
correlation function between segments in the bulk. To extend eq. 3.18 to inhomo-
geneous systems using FMT (following the same methodology as used by Segura et.
al. [62]), pib is replaced by n₀ιζι and ‰^,b(σχ) is replaced by,
