Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful tool to investigate interaction forces at the micro
and nanoscale. Cantilever stiffness, dimensions and geometry of the tip can be chosen …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging of isolated submicron dodecyltrichlorosilane coated
silica spheres, immobilized at the liquid polystyrene-(PS-) air interface at the PS glass …

We discuss (i) the measurement,(ii) interpretation and (iii) technical impact of temperature-
dependent wall slip and its activation energy for polar and non-polar hydrocarbon …

We developed a statistical mechanical theory that describes the adsorption of nanoparticles
(NPs) at liquid–vapor surfaces. This theory accounts for the surface to bulk NP …

We developed a stable spread-sheet algorithm for the calculation of the hydrodynamic
forces measured by colloid probe atomic force microscopy to be used in investigations of …

Lubrication forces between hydrophobized glass surfaces in alkane liquids have been
measured using the atomic force microscopy colloid probe technique and compared to …

We present experimental evidence and theoretical models that demonstrate that the slip
length, which is the departure from the hydrodynamic no-slip boundary condition, cannot be …

A precise determination of the cantilever spring constant is the critical point of all colloidal
probe experiments. Existing methods are based on approximations considering only …

We show that the spring constant of colloidal probes made by attaching spherical
microparticles to atomic force microscope cantilevers can be directly calibrated by the …

Silica particle (S) stabilized oil-in-water Pickering emulsions are observed in the two-phase
region of the critical liquid mixture 2, 6-lutidine (L) plus water (W). De-emulsification is found …
