  • Title: The influence of ion binding and ion specific potentials on the double layer pressure between charged bilayers at low salt concentrations.
    Author: Bostrom M, Lima ER, Tavares FW, Ninham BW.
    Journal: J Chem Phys; 2008 Apr 07; 128(13):135104. PubMed ID: 18397111.
    Abstract:
    Measurements of surface forces between double-chained cationic bilayers adsorbed onto molecularly smooth mica surfaces across different millimolar salt solutions have revealed a large degree of ion specificity [Pashley et al., J. Phys. Chem. 90, 1637 (1986)]. This has been interpreted in terms of highly specific anion binding to the adsorbed bilayers. We show here that inclusion in the double layer theory of nonspecific ion binding and ion specific nonelectrostatic potentials acting between ions and the two surfaces can account for the phenomenon. It also gives the right Hofmeister series for the double layer pressure.
