| Abstract: | It is shown that the interfacial attraction between low-energy bodies immersed in aqueous media, known as “hydrophobic” interaction, can be quantitatively accounted for by, mainly, the hydrogen-bonding energy of cohesion of water, plus, to a very minor extent, a van der Waals-Lifshitz attraction between the Immersed law-energy bodies. |
