Van der Waals Forces Between Particle and Surface

[Gwinterz]

Hey,

I was hoping to be directed to some literature regarding the van der waals forces between a particle and a surface.

I have found lots of models regarding particle-particle forces but no extensions of this.

Thanks

What literature has one found.

Chemistry textbooks and some physics texts should describe Van der Waals forces.

For a particle (of a set of molecules) and a surface, ostensibly a different set of molecules, one might not find a discussion in an elementary textbook. One then has to look for intermolecular forces between molecules of the particle and surface.

An elementary discussion.

For future reference,

There is a pretty good review paper which was published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.

The title is:
Theoretical Models for Surface Forces and Adhesion and Their Measurement Using Atomic Force Microscopy
