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

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

G.J.T Tiddy
- 01 Jan 1980 - 
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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Undulations, steric interaction and cohesion of fluid membranes

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

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.

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.
