The free energy of interaction between two parallel infinite dipolar surfaces is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation technique. The surfaces and surrounding space are treated as dielectric continua, albeit with varying dielectric permittivity, while the dipoles are handled explicitly taking al

โฆ Synopsis
Hydration forces between two hydrophilic surfaces are generated by the overlap between the two polarization layers which are formed near each of them. The differential equation that describes the polarization tield as well as the corresponding boundary conditions are derived on the basis of electrostatics. Expressions for the decay length and for the msgnitudc of the force have been derived and compared with experiment.
