The long-ranged attractions between hydrophobic amorphous fluoropolymer surfaces are
measured in water with and without dissolved air. An atomic force microscope is used to …

Direct measurements of the force between hydrophobic surfaces across aqueous solutions
are reviewed. The results are presented according to the method of preparation of the …

We have measured forces between surfaces with controlled “hydrophobicity” in pure water,
where the outermost atomic layer of the surfaces is composed of both CH3CH2− and …

An atomic force microscope has been employed to measure the force of interaction between
a micron-sized colloidal sphere and a flat plate, both coated with a copolymer of perfluoro (2 …

The hydrophobic attraction describes the well-known tendency for nonpolar molecules and
surfaces to agglomerate in water, controlled by the reorganization of intervening water …

The aim of this paper is to review our current level of knowledge of the interaction between
hydrophobic surfaces immersed in water. The strong attractive forces observed between …

Direct measurements of the long-range strongly attractive force observed between
macroscopic hydrophobic surfaces across aqueous solutions are reexamined in light of …

To clarify the origin of the long-range attraction between hydrophobic surfaces in water, the
interaction between the surfaces silanated by the popular method (type I) and that between …

The evidence for nanobubbles as the origin of the long-ranged attractions measured
between hydrophobic surfaces immersed in water is reviewed by focusing upon several …

The air side of the water‐air interface is the most hydrophobic surface known. In quantitative
terms the water‐air interface is about 30% more hydrophobic than the surfaces of nonpolar …
