We present explicit analytic formulae showing the effect of these ionic dispersion forces on the structure of the double layer and on the resulting pressure between surfaces.Keywords: Colloidal science; Hofmeister effects; Ionic dispersion; Dispersions; Ions; Pressure effects; Colloids; analytic method; colloid; conference paper; dispersion; electric potential; mathematical analysis; molecular interaction; surface property; theoretical Colloid science; Dispersion forces; X-Ray crystallography200410.1016/j.cocis.2004.05.0192015-12-11
