TLDR
In this article, the principles of the Lifshitz theory of van der Waals interaction are used to formulate and compute energies in multilayer systems and the full analysis including relativistic, temperature, and many-body effects reveals a nonadditive long-range interaction that is not predicted by earlier theories.Abstract:

The present state of affairs with Hofmeister effects
TL;DR: The present state of affairs, theory and experiment with Hofmeister effects is reviewed in this article, where the authors present a review of the literature and experiment results of their work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surfactant-water liquid crystal phases
TL;DR: A general outline of the relationship between phase structure and overall composition can be obtained from a consideration intra-and inter-micellar interactions as mentioned in this paper, which also gives some insight into the relationship of rheological properties and phase structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of forces between lecithin bilayers.
TL;DR: A general method for measuring forces between planar phospho-lipid membranes is devised, and results for the specific case of egg lecithin (phosphatidyl choline) bilayers in water are reported.

Undulations, steric interaction and cohesion of fluid membranes
W. Helfrich,R. M. Servuss +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the functional dependences of steric interaction of undulating membranes are derived in a new way from simple physical arguments, and it is shown that the net energy of cohesion can be extremely small (≲10−5 erg cm−2).
Journal ArticleDOI
On Progress in Forces Since the DLVO Theory
Barry W. Ninham,Barry W. Ninham +1 more
TL;DR: The original DLVO theory does not account for specific ion effects embraced by the term Hofmeister series nor did it pretend to as mentioned in this paper, and no theories have considered the effects of dissolved gas which are extremely important.

The general theory of van der Waals forces
TL;DR: The van der Waals forces refer to the attractive forces acting between any two neutral atoms or molecules that are separated by distance large compared to their own dimensions, which decrease with distance according to a power law as mentioned in this paper.

V. Luzzati,F. Husson +1 more
TL;DR: The interpretation of the electron microscope observations of the structure of lipoprotein membranes is discussed, and some possible biological implications are suggested.

On the macroscopic theory of van der waals forces
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple macroscopic derivation of the non-retarded Van der Waals interaction between two semi-infinite dielectric media is given, based on a simple linear combination of the Van der Wals interaction.
