Causes

Gibbs Free Energy

The increase in entropy leads to a decrease in Gibbs free energy.

Entropy

An entropic force arises when there is overlap of restricted volumes of the (large) spheres or plates in solution. The overlap increases the volume accessible to solute which increases the systems entropy. This process happens spontaneously at constant temperature since the Hemholtz energy decreases.

Sterics

When two parallel plates are in a suspension of small particles at a distance less than two times the radius of the small particles, the small particles cannot fit in between the plates dude to spacial restrictions. There is a region surrounding large spherical particles that small spherical particles in the suspension are excluded from. When spheres get close enough (i.e. h< (Dlarge+dsmall)/2), the regions overlap which reduces the volume unavailable to small spheres.

Osmotic Pressure

When small spheres are excluded from between two parallel plates, osmotic pressure acts of the outer sides of the plates, resulting in aggregation.

Dispersion forces
