✦ Synopsis
We have considered variations in dielectric polarization over distances comparable to molecular dimensions in the Ice structure and ir. aqueous media. The decay of polarization away from a surface and the associated "hydration force" have been studied analytic&y in ice and by molecular dynnmics in water

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 electros
A model, consisting of a pair of large macroions in a dipolar hard sphere-point ion electrolyte, is considered in order to evaluate the hydration force (solvent-mediated) contribution to the force between colloidal particles, which is missing in the DLVO theory. Using the mean spherical approximatio
In several recent theories of the hydration force based on nonlocal electrostatics, the nonlocal dielectric function is assumed to have a simple monotonic dependence upon the wavelength k. Here it is shown that the functional form assumed is seriously inconsistent with exact expressions for multipol
## Theory and Measurement of Hydrate Dissociation Experimental data on the rate of dissociation of methane hydrates are presented. The data were obtained from hydrate mass loss measurements using an electrobalance. A resistance heater with a known heat flux was used in the dissociation experiments
