We review recent advances in the theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies of critical
Casimir forces in soft matter, with particular emphasis on their relevance for the structures of …

In this paper, we investigate effects of counterion connectivity (ie, association of the
counterions into a chain molecule) on the electrostatic potential of mean force (EPMF) …

In this article we derive expressions for Casimir-like pressures induced by nonequilibrium
concentration fluctuations in liquid mixtures. The results are then applied to liquid mixtures in …

A partially miscible binary liquid mixture, composed of A and B particles, is considered
theoretically under conditions for which a stable A-rich liquid phase is in thermal equilibrium …

Within mean field theory, we investigate the bridging transition between a pair of parallel
cylindrical colloids immersed in a binary liquid mixture as a solvent that is close to its critical …

We study systems in which both long-ranged van der Waals and critical Casimir interactions
are present. The latter arise as an effective force between bodies when immersed in a near …

The structure and behavior of linear-polymer macromolecules in solution depend on
interactions between the monomers and solvent molecules. Many decades ago Flory 1 …

Effective interactions between colloidal particles in critical solvents... The scientific
background evoked by this title may be clear to the expert reader; at the same time, the …
