Modeling of the Van Der Waals Forces during the Adhesion of Capsule-Shaped Bacteria to Flat Surfaces
A novel model is developed to evaluate the van der Waals (vdW) interactions between a capsule shaped bacterium (<i>P. putida</i>) and flat minerals plates in different approach profiles: Vertically and horizontally. A comparison of the approaches to the well-developed spherical particle...
