Biomolecular interactions underpin most processes inside the cell. Hence, a precise and
quantitative understanding of molecular association and dissociation events is crucial, not …

Single molecule force spectroscopy probes the strength, lifetime, and energetic details of
intermolecular interactions in a simple experiment. A growing number of these studies have …

Numerous experimental and theoretical studies show different relationships between the
kinetic dry friction force and the sliding velocity depending on the interacting materials, load …

The adhesion force between a silicon nitride tip and a 1-dodecanethiol monolayer have
been measured at different loading rates and different humidity. A way to extract the kinetic …

Stable and hydrophobic self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols are promising materials
for use as lubricants in microdevices and nanodevices. We applied high-rate dynamic force …

In this paper five TiO2 powders prepared by sol-gel technique were analyzed being into
consideration the modification of method of synthesis applied. As a precursors titanium (IV) …

Atomic force microscopy has become an important technique for studying the adhesion of
nanometer-sized contacts. However, there is still no good method to quantitatively …

One of the most important diagnostic features of atomic force microscopy is the
measurement of mechanical properties of the surface. Among a wide spectra of measuring …

This study compared the tribological properties in nano-and millinewton load ranges of Ti‑
6Al-4V surfaces that were modified using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of carboxylic …

Alkanethiols form stable, homogeneous, and well-organized self-assembled monolayers
and can be used as lubricants in micro-and nanodevices when sufficiently hydrophobic and …
