摘要
A mean-field theory based on Gibbs-Bogoliubov inequality is constructed to study the interactions between two like-charged polyions, It is shown that contrary to the previously established paradigm, a properly constructed mean-field theory can quantitatively account for the attractive interactions between two like-charged rods.
