Abstract
The behavior of colloidal systems is often controlled by electrostatic interactions. Published studies deal mostly with uniformly charged pa rticles; nonuniformly charged objects require a more complicated treat ment, Here, we describe a boundary element method developed to study t he interaction between a sphere with a nonuniform surface charge and a charged plate. By means of a simple example, we show that charge hete rogeneity has a dramatic effect on the interaction energy, (C) 1995 Ac ademic Press, Inc.
