Journal ArticleDOI
Force measurements with the atomic force microscope: Technique, interpretation and applications
TL;DR: The atomic force microscope (AFM) is not only used to image the topography of solid surfaces at high resolution but also to measure force-versus-distance curves as discussed by the authors, which provide valuable information on local material properties such as elasticity, hardness, Hamaker constant, adhesion and surface charge densities.
Book
Physics and Chemistry of Interfaces
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of Diffraction patterns on the surface of liquid surfaces of liquid and liquid liquids. But their focus is on the electric double layer of the double layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normal capillary forces.
Hans-Jürgen Butt,Michael Kappl +1 more
TL;DR: Normal capillary forces are reviewed, focusing on a quantitative description with continuum theory, and the process of meniscus formation is described, including the influence of surface roughness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrodynamic force measurements: boundary slip of water on hydrophilic surfaces and electrokinetic effects.
TL;DR: The hydrodynamic drainage force of aqueous medium between smooth hydrophilic surfaces was measured with the colloidal probe technique up to shear rates of typically 10(4) s(-1) and force curves were compared to simulations to reach agreement between experimental and simulated force curves.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Colloidal Probe Technique and Its Application to Adhesion Force Measurements
Michael Kappl,Hans-Jürgen Butt +1 more
TL;DR: In this review, the colloidal probe technique is described and an overview of its application in the field of adhesion forces is given.
