Electrostatic interactions of asymmetrically charged membranes

We predict the nature (attractive or repulsive) and range (exponentially screened or long-range power law) of the electrostatic interactions of oppositely charged, planar plates as a function of the salt concentration and surface charge densities (whose absolute magnitudes are not necessarily equal). An analytical expression for the crossover between attractive and repulsive pressure is obtaine...

Mutual Electrostatic Interactions between Closely Spaced Charged Solder Droplets

Emerging technologies of net-form manufacturing and electronic packaging rely on the use of precisely deposited molten metal droplets with sizes on the order of 100 μm in diameter. In many technological realizations, closely spaced droplets are electrostatically charged and deflected onto a substrate in a manner similar to ink-jet printing in order to “print” fine features onto a board for elec...

Electrostatic interactions between charged dielectric particles in an electrolyte solution.

Theory is developed to address a significant problem of how two charged dielectric particles interact in the presence of a polarizable medium that is a dilute solution of a strong electrolyte. The electrostatic force is defined by characteristic parameters for the interacting particles (charge, radius, and dielectric constant) and for the medium (permittivity and Debye length), and is expressed...

Electrostatic Forces on Charged Surfaces of Bilayer Lipid Membranes

Abstract. Simulating protein-membrane interactions is an important and dynamic area of research. A proper definition of electrostatic forces on membrane surfaces is necessary for developing electromechanical models of protein-membrane interactions. Here, we model the bilayer membrane as a continuum with general continuous distributions of lipids charges on membrane surfaces. A new electrostatic...

Electrostatic interactions between Janus particles.

In this paper we study the electrostatic properties of "Janus" spheres with unequal charge densities on both hemispheres. We introduce a method to compare primitive-model Monte Carlo simulations of the ionic double layer with predictions of (mean-field) nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann theory. We also derive practical Derjaguin Landau Verwey Overbeek (DLVO)-like expressions that describe the Janus-p...
