Interaction forces between particles and surfaces as studied by AFM

Description
AFM is being used to measure interaction forces between single particle and the surface in liquid or air. Adhesion forces between particles after contact are also characterized.

Implications
Interaction forces between particles and between particles and surfaces are of importance in critical surface cleaning, CMP processes, wet separation techniques, suspension and drug formulations.
