Abstract

Recent simulation and experimental results on molecular alignment at the liquid–vapour interface of dipolar fluids are in disagreement with the predictions of all existing theories. We discuss these problems in the context of our earlier work on association in dipolar fluids and propose new theoretical approaches to tackle them.
