TL;DR: The role played by statistical mechanics in the ordering of colloidal systems is examined in this paper through a study of phase transitions in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions which exist in the examples provided by clay plate, tobacco mossaic virus and latex sphere suspensions.

TL;DR: In this paper, Taylor tube dispersion was used to measure the Taylor tube diffusion of a surfactant at 25°C and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide at 25, 90, and 135°C.

TL;DR: Long-range attractive forces between lipid bilayers are not well described by the Lifshitz theory of Van der Waals forces, but when correlations between polar headgroups are taken into account, the predicted forces take a qualitatively different form consistent with the measured data.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general formalism based on quantum statistical mechanics is developed which relates the free energy of an inhomogeneous medium to a Green's function, a response function which is calculated using classical electromagnetic theory.

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.
