The depletion thickness in solutions of semi-flexible polymers near colloidal surfaces: analytical approximations

We derive a simple, yet accurate approximate mean-field expression for the depletion thickness δ(sf) of a solution of dilute semi-flexible polymers next to a hard surface. In the case of a hard wall this equation has the simple form δ(sf) = δ(0)[1 − tanh(p(sf)/δ(0))], where p(sf) accounts for the de...
