Summary

A comparison is presented between the qualitative predictions of the various theories of steric stabilization with the results of experiments. It is shown that with the notable exception ofFischer's solvency theory, all of the theories advanced to-date are at odds with results of experiments.

Possible reasons for these discrepancies are discussed.
