Abstract
•Electrostatic interaction of soft particles before and after contact is discussed.•Electrostatic interaction of soft particles in a salt-free medium is discussed.•Discrete-charge effect on interaction of soft particles is discussed.
Theories of the electrostatic interaction between two soft particles (i.e., particles covered with an ion-penetrable surface layer of polyelectrolytes) in an electrolyte solution are reviewed. Interactions of soft particles after contact of their surface layers are particularly discussed. Interaction in a salt-free medium and the discrete-charge effect are also treated.
