PROGRESS THAT IS BEING MADE Over the past week we have witnessed the presentation and discussion of various papers in the field of colloid stability, the description of colfoidal systems and their susceptibility to external force fields_ Considering these papers and relevant ones that have appeared in recent literature, I would like to group them in the following way_ a) papers on the direct measurement of interaction forces, both in the absence and presence of adsorbed polymers, e.g. by Israelachvili, Horn, Pashley, Klein and Rabinovich. Concerning the former, there is now well established evidence that 'Concluding remarks of the IUPAC-IUTAM Conference on Particle interaction, Canberra, March, 1981.
