Abstract
In their landmark paper published in 1948, Stokes and Robinson1 proposed a modified form of the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller 2 adsorption isotherm to explain the water activity behavior of various 1:1 and 2:1 concentrated aqueous electrolytes. Their pioneering idea of viewing such solutions as an irregular ionic lattice structure inspired much of the author�s work (with co-researcher, Jerry Braunstein) from the mid 1980�s to the present time. This paper, written in celebration of Prof. Stokes� 90th birthday anniversary briefly describes the author�s contribution towards further development of the theory, its capabilities, future directions.
