Thermal fluctuation forces and wetting layers in colloid-polymer mixtures: derivation of an interface potential.
We discuss wetting layers in phase-separated colloid-polymer mixtures adsorbed at a vertical wall, observed in recent laser scanning confocal microscopy experiments. Matching of colloid and solvent dielectric properties renders van der Waals forces negligible and provides a system governed by short-...
