Abstract
Long-range hydrophobic interactions and ion co-ion and counterion adso rption specificity in interactions and in self-assembly have posed a r eal puzzle for theories of colloid science. Also, a role for dissolved gas has hardly been considered. A variety of observations apparently in conflict with established theories are discussed and analysed. Thes e point to defects in the present theoretical framework and to ways in which a reconciliation can be achieved.
