Abstract: The correction to classical Derjaguin method has been made in the formulae for the double layer interaction at constant surface potential between two identical and between two dissimilar spheres.The expressions which can be applied to any ka and kHare obtained, in which k is Parameter, a is the radius of particles, His the shortest distance between the two spheres.The improved Derjaguin approximation opens up a usual area of familiar Derjagain formulae, and gives the exact results.
