Ion specificity plays a key role in soln. chem. and many biol. processes. However, the classical DLVO theory was not able to explain the exptl. obsd. ion specific forces acting between air-bubbles in electrolyte solns. The authors resolve this problem by using a generalized Poisson-Boltzmann equation. Inclusion of both short-range potentials obtained from simulation (acting between ions and the air-H2O interface) and the spatial variation of the local dielec. const. near the air-H2O interface may be essential to obtain correct results.
