15. This assumption can be relaxed to some extent.
16. 1 in the leading term of the adsorbance; otherwise, we use the total adsorbance Γ throughout.
17. The case of colloids is actually more complex since only internal modes of the layer faster than the collision time relax, slower modes being frozen. A more repulsive force is thus anticipated during fast collisions.
