We review recent advances in the theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies of critical
Casimir forces in soft matter, with particular emphasis on their relevance for the structures of …

We report Monte Carlo simulations of phase behavior of colloidal suspensions with near-
critical binary solvents using effective pair potentials from experiments. At off-critical solvent …

The influence of ions on the bulk phase behavior of binary liquid mixtures acting as their
solvents and on the corresponding interfacial structures close to a planar wall is investigated …

When immiscible liquids are subject to electric fields interfacial forces arise due to a
difference in the permittivity or the conductance of the liquids, and these forces lead to shape …

We show that topological defects in an ion-doped nematic liquid crystal can be used to
manipulate the surface charge distribution on chemically homogeneous, charge-regulating …

Near-critical binary mixtures containing ions and confined between two charged and
selective surfaces are studied within a Ginzburg–Landau theory extended to include …

We show that hydrophilic ions present in a confined, near-critical aqueous mixture can lead
to an attraction between like charge surfaces with opposing preferential adsorption of the …

We consider a near-critical binary mixture with addition of antagonistic salt (hydrophilic
cations and hydrophobic anions) confined between weakly charged and selective surfaces …

We describe theoretically 'electrolubrication'in liquid mixtures: the phenomenon whereby an
electric field applied transverse to the confining surfaces leads to concentration gradients …

We examine an electric double layer containing an antagonistic salt in an aqueous mixture,
where the cations are small and hydrophilic but the anions are large and hydrophobic. In …
