Surface Forces in Aqueous Electrolytes

水电解质中的表面力。本计画研究电解质水溶液中两相邻胶体粒子或大分子间的作用力。虽然这些力控制电解质中颗粒的接近和结合，因此具有很大的实际意义，但它们知之甚少。在最近的工作中，我建立了一个严格的计划计算的静电力的贡献，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性表面基团之间的平均力。在这里，我建议执行所需的模拟，并探讨分析简化。

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.
