In aqueous solutions, dissolved ions interact strongly with the surrounding water and
surfaces, thereby modifying solution properties in an ion-specific manner. These ion …

Uncompensated charges do not usually occur in Nature and any local charge should be a
result of charge separation. Dissociable chemical groups at interfaces in contact with ions in …

Charge regulation in the electrical double layer has important implications for ion
adsorption, interparticle forces, colloidal stability, and deposition phenomena. Although …

We studied systematically aqueous suspensions of amorphous well-characterized silica
particles by potentiometric titration, electrophoretic mobility, and time-resolved light …

Local surface charge density of lipid membranes influences membrane–protein interactions
leading to distinct functions in all living cells, and it is a vital parameter in understanding …

The interaction forces between individual positively charged amidine functionalized latex
particles with adsorbed negatively charged sodium poly (styrene sulfonate) were studied …

Abstract The Poisson–Boltzmann mean-field description of ionic solutions has been
successfully used in predicting charge distributions and interactions between charged …

Forces and aggregation rates involving spherical particles are studied numerically within the
theory of Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, and Overbeek (DLVO) for asymmetric and mixed …

Adsorption of polyelectrolytes to surfaces of opposite charge typically leads to charge
neutralization and subsequent charge reversal. As can be shown by direct force …

The electrostatic stabilization of colloidal dispersions is usually considered the domain of
polar media only because of the high energetic cost associated with introducing electric …
