Abstract
As we start to look at nanoparticles, viruses and cells, it becomes apparent that the one parameter model described in the previous chapters breaks down. The reason is that the van der Waals forces act over a certain distance which becomes comparable in size to the particles themselves. The approximation that work of adhesion alone is sufficient to describe adhesion then becomes unsatisfactory and a new model is needed. This chapter is the main theoretical part of the book and contains many equations. By the end, however, we are confident that readers of all backgrounds will realize that nanoscale adhesion results from several electromagnetic terms which are relevant to biological systems.
