Editing DLVO theory (section)

==Shortcomings==
Additional forces beyond the DLVO construct have been reported to also play a major role in determining colloid stability.<ref name="McBride1997">{{cite journal|last1=McBride|first1=Murray B.|title=A critique of diffuse double layer models applied to colloid and surface chemistry|journal=Clays and Clay Minerals | volume=45 | issue=4 | year=1997 | pages=598–608 | issn=0009-8604|doi=10.1346/CCMN.1997.0450412|bibcode=1997CCM....45..598M |citeseerx=10.1.1.464.7748 |doi-access=free}}</ref><ref name="Grasso2002">{{cite journal | last1 = Grasso | first1 = D. | last2 = Subramaniam | first2 = K. | last3 = Butkus | first3 = M. | last4 = Strevett | first4 = K | last5 = Bergendahl | first5 = J. | year = 2002| title = A review of non-DLVO interactions in environmental colloidal systems | journal = Reviews in Environmental Science and Bio/Technology | volume = 1 | issue = 1| pages = 17–38 | doi = 10.1023/a:1015146710500 | bibcode = 2002RESBT...1...17G | s2cid = 97211816 }}</ref>
DLVO theory is not effective in describing ordering processes such as the evolution of [[colloidal crystal]]s in dilute dispersions with low salt concentrations. It also cannot explain the relation between the formation of colloidal crystals and salt concentrations.<ref>N. Ise and I. S.
