Abstract Charged soft-matter systems—such as colloidal dispersions and charged polymers—are dominated by attractive forces between constituent like-charged particles when neutralizing counterions of high charge valency are introduced. Such counter-intuitive effects indicate strong electrostatic coupling between like-charged particles, which essentially results from electrostatic correlations among counterions residing near particle surfaces. In this paper, the attraction mechanism and the structure of counterionic correlations are discussed in the limit of strong coupling based on recent numerical and analytical investigations and for various geometries (planar, spherical and cylindrical) of charged objects.
