Surface Forces in Foam Films
… non-DLVO force was estimated by subtracting the electrostatic double-layer and van der Waals forces from the total force (or pressure) measured. The results obtained in the present work suggest that a strong attractive force (referred to as hydrophobic force) exists at very low surfactant …

Direct Force Measurements on the Colloidal Scale: From Modified Electrodes to Particle Manipulation
… of an electrode modified with an organic layer. In particular the adhesion and ion adsorption have been studied, which are ubiquitous phenomena in the colloid science, electrochemistry, and biology. Moreover, a novel technique has been developed to fabricate chemically and mechanically …

Studies on the Adsorption of Surfactants and Polymers to Surfaces and Their Effects on Colloidal Forces
… to stabilize different colloidal particles. Electrostatic forces are frequently responsible for the stabilization of colloidal particles. The decay length of these forces is dictated by the electrolyte concentration. The relationship between the decay length and the concentration is well …

Surface Charge Regulation Effects on Fluidic Nanoscale Systems
Electrostatic properties of uidic nanoscale systems are of fundamental interest and play an important role in many engineering applications. Due to the large surface area to volume ratios of these systems, interfacial phenomena are of key importance to understanding their behavior. We present …
