Surface Forces in Aqueous Electrolytes

水溶液中的表面作用力。这个项目研究的是电解质水溶液中两个相邻的胶体颗粒或大分子之间的作用力。虽然这种力控制着电解质中粒子的接近和结合，因此具有很大的实际意义，但人们对它们知之甚少。在最近的工作中，我建立了一个严格的计算静电对力的贡献的方案，并证明了它的可行性。为了实现实际应用，例如在药物设计中，我们必须知道离子与表面或功能表面基团之间的平均作用力。在这里，我建议执行所需的模拟并探索分析简化。

Surface Forces in Aqueous Electrolytes. This project studies the force between two nearby colloidal particles or macromolecules in aqueous electrolyte solutions. Although such forces control the approach and binding of particles in electrolytes and hence have large practical significance they are poorly known. In recent work I established a rigorous scheme for calculation of the electrostatic contribution to the force and proved its feasibility. In order to realise practical applications, such as in drug design, we must know the mean force between an ion and a surface or functional surface group. Here I propose to perform the required simulations and explore the analytical simplifications.
