The dynamics of charge-stabilized dispersions consisting of highly charged colloidal particles (macroions) dispersed in a solution of weakly charged small counter- and coions (microions) has attracted considerable interest, both experimentally and theoretically. Theoretical work on charge-stabilized colloids has been mostly based on an effective macrofluid model of dressed macroions interacting by an effective pair potential of spherical symmetry, by integrating out the microionic degrees of freedom.
