Interaction between like-charged colloidal particles in aqueous electrolyte solution: Attractive component arising from solvent granularity
The potential of mean force (PMF) between like-charged colloidal particles immersed in aqueous electrolyte solution is studied using the integral equation theory. Solvent molecules are modeled as neutral hard spheres, and ions and colloidal particles are taken to be charged hard spheres. The Coulomb...
