From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

The DLVO-theory is named after Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey and Overbeek. It was developd in the 1940s. The theory describes the force between surfaces interacting through a liquid medium. It combines the effects of the van-der-Waals attraction and the repulsion due to the so called double-layer of counter-ions.
