    The nature of phospholipid membranes repulsion at nm-distances

    Why hydrophilic membranes repel at small distances? We apply recently developed phenomenological theory of polar liquids to calculate the repulsive pressure between two hydrophilic membranes at nm-distances. We find that the repulsion does show up in the model and the solution to the problem fits...
