The Poisson­Boltzmann (PB) theory is extensively used to gain insight on charged colloids
and biological systems as well as to elucidate fundamental properties of intermolecular
forces. Many works have been devoted in the past to study PB-related features and to
confirm them experimentally. In this work we explore the properties of inter-plate forces
