This review addresses experimental findings obtained with direct force measurements
between two similar or dissimilar solid surfaces in aqueous electrolyte solutions …

The present article provides an overview of the recent progress in the direct force
measurements between individual pairs of colloidal particles in aqueous salt solutions …

Ion specific effects of monovalent salts on charging and aggregation for two types of
polystyrene latex particles were investigated by electrophoresis and time-resolved light …

Homoaggregation of polystyrene microplastics (MPs) and heteroaggregation of MPs with
anionic clay minerals, namely, layered double hydroxide (LDH), in different salt (NaCl …

Complex interaction geometries offer a unique opportunity to modify the strength and sign of
the Casimir force. However, measurements have traditionally been limited to sphere-plate or …

The aggregation and deposition processes of marine microplastics are extremely important
in marine ecosystems. The main effect of these two physical processes is the transfer of …

The interaction between colloidal particles is commonly viewed through the lens of DLVO
theory, whereby the interaction is described as the sum of the electrostatic and dispersion …

Force profiles between pairs of silica particles in concentrated aqueous solutions of a
monovalent salt are measured using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Under such conditions …

Force profiles as well as aggregation and deposition rates are studied for asymmetrically
charged particles and surfaces in aqueous electrolytes theoretically. Interactions are …

We propose to use optical tweezers to probe the Casimir interaction between microspheres
inside a liquid medium for geometric aspect ratios far beyond the validity of the widely …
