Attraction between Like Charged Surfaces Mediated by Uniformly Charged Spherical Colloids in a Salt Solution
Like-charged macromolecules repel in electrolyte solutions that contain small (i.e. point-like) monovalent coand counterions. Yet, if the mobile ions of one species are spatially extended instead of being point-like, the interaction may turn attractive. This effect can be captured within the mean-field Poisson-Boltzmann framework if the charge distribution within the spatially extended ions is ...
متن کاملLong-ranged attraction between charged polystyrene spheres at aqueous interfaces.
We report an optical and atomic force microscopic study of interactions between charged polystyrene spheres at a water-air interface. Optical observations of bonded particle clusters and formation of circular chainlike structures at the interface demonstrate that the interaction potential is of dipole origin. Atomic force microscope phase images show patchy domains on the colloidal surface, ind...
متن کاملThe mean-field theory for attraction between like-charged macromolecules
A mean-field theory based on Gibbs-Bogoliubov inequality is constructed to study the interactions between two like-charged polyions. It is shown that contrary to the previously established paradigm, a properly constructed mean-field theory can quantitatively account for the attractive interactions between two like-charged rods. One of the most fascinating problems that has recently appeared in ...
متن کاملRegions of attraction between like-charged conducting spheres
Two positively charged conducting spheres have been shown to attract at close enough range, unless they have a charge ratio that would result from contact. We give analytical results for the charge ratio at which the cross-over between electrostatic attraction and repulsion occurs, as a function of the sphere separation.

متن کاملCounterion correlations and attraction between like-charged macromolecules.
A simple model is presented for the appearance of attraction between two like-charged polyions inside a polyelectrolyte solution. The polyions are modeled as rigid cylinders in a continuum dielectric solvent. The strong electrostatic interaction between the polyions and the counterions results in counterion condensation. If the two polyions are sufficiently close to each other their layers of c...
