Abstract
Interactions between charged objects in electrolyte solutions are of fundamental importance in many technological and medical systems. These interactions can be altered by the presence of charged nanoparticles, which possess spatially distributed internal charge. In this presentation, I will consider the influence of charged nanoparticles on the interaction between charged surfaces from theoretical and experimental point of view.
