DLVO Theory - History
... The framework of linearized Debye-Hückel theory subsequently was applied to colloidal dispersions by Levine and Dube who found that charged colloidal particles should experience a ... This theory did not explain the observed instability of colloidal dispersions against irreversible aggregation in solutions of high ionic strength ... and Landau introduced a theory for the stability of colloidal dispersions that invoked a fundamental instability driven by strong but short-ranged van der Waals attractions ...
