(2004), Elsevier, New York 259-311. An extensive review on statistical mechanical approach to study layering and stratification phenomena in fluid media in unisodiametric confined space. The role of the two driving forces for suspending fluid stratification - excluded volume and electrostatics is elucidated. The one, two-, four and ten component suspending fluids are numerically modelled. The role of the smaller (molecular) species in the layering of larger (nanosized) entities in thin liquid films is thoroughly analyzed.

It is found that the enhanced layering of a hard-sphere colloidal suspension next to a macrosurface is driven by excluded volume forces that are of entropic origin.
