Lifshitz theory of Casimir forces at finite temperature
Barry W. Ninham,John Daicic +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reexamine the Casimir and Lifshitz theories of intermolecular forces at nonzero temperature and show that for dilute media and atomic interactions, the limits of validity of the London-van der Waals potentia are known.

Phase Equilibria of Balanced Microemulsions
TL;DR: In this paper, a general form for the free energy density has been proposed for balanced microemulsions and the phase behavior of the L 3 phase has been considered, which captures the important features of experimentally determined phase diagrams of systems which exhibit this remarkable phase.

Interpretation of competitive adsorption isotherms in terms of affinity distributions

- 01 Jul 1997
TL;DR: The present study demonstrates that the extended Henderson-Hasselbalch (HH) isotherm has an underlying affinity distribution, which displays a partial correlation, while the non-ideal competitive adsorption (NICA) has an affinity distribution with a varying degree of correlation.

Electrostatic rigidity of charged membranes in systems without added salt
TL;DR: In this paper, a perturbative solution to the Poisson-Boltzmann equation for the case of two undulating sheets with intervening counterions is presented, and the predictions for the bending modulus are shown to be identical to that of the solution for the geometry of concentric cylinders.

Ionization properties of interfaces and linear polyelectrolytes: a discrete charge Ising model
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the interaction energies between two sites by considering two point charges in a dielectric medium in contact with an electrolyte solution and showed that the inter-charge potential is stronger and much more long-range than for the cylinder.
