Colloid and surface chemistry

an effective attraction between large particles in a solution of smaller ones, arising because excluding the small ones from the gap raises their entropy.

In colloid and surface chemistry, depletion interaction refers to an effective attraction between large particles in a solution of smaller ones, arising because excluding the small ones from the gap raises their entropy. This meaning comes from Asakura (1954) in The Journal of Chemical Physics.[1]
