	abstract = {The interaction between equal, uniformly charged flat surfaces,
separated by a solution of spheroidal or rod-like nanoparticles
was studied theoretically and experimentally. In the theory the
nanoparticles were assumed to have a spatially distributed
electric charge. The density functional theory for the
nanoparticles within the solution was developed. The excluded
volume effect was taken into account by the closest approach of
the nanoparticles to the charged surfaces. It was shown that for
large enough dimensions of nanoparticles and large enough surface
charge densities of membrane surfaces, the two equally charged
surfaces could experience an attractive force due to the spatially
distributed charges within the nanoparticles.},
