Abstract
Within the framework of a modified Poisson-Boltzmann theory accounting for steric effects of microions; we prove analytically that the effective pair interactions between like-charge colloids immersed in a confined electrolyt e are repulsive. Our approach encompasses and extends previously known resu lts to the case of complete confinement, and further incorporates the finit e size of the microions which is absent in the standard Poisson-Boltzmann t heory.
