Funded Activity Summary

Surface Forces in Aqueous Electrolytes. This project studies the force between two nearby colloidal particles or macromolecules in aqueous electrolyte solutions. Although such forces control the approach and binding of particles in electrolytes and hence have large practical significance they are poorly known. In recent work I established a rigorous scheme for calculation of the electrostatic contribution to the force and proved its feasibility. In order to realise practical applications, such as in drug design, we must know the mean force between an ion and a surface or functional surface group. Here I propose to perform the required simulations and explore the analytical simplifications.
