Text of Note
Reasons for the enquiry -- Different approaches to, and different kinds of, molecular forces -- Electrostatic forces in electrolytes in outline -- The balance of forces -- Quantum mechanical forces in condensed media -- The extension of the Lifshitz theory to include electrolytes and Hofmeister effects -- Specific ion effects -- The effects of dissolved gas and other solutes on hydrophobic interactions -- Self assembly : overview -- Self assembly in theory and practice -- Bicontinuous phases and otehr structures : forces at work in biological systems -- Emulsions and microemulsions -- Forces at work : a miscellany of issues
