In recent years, the number of non-aqueous solvents which mediate hydrocarbon–solvent
interactions and promote the self-assembly of amphiphiles has been markedly increased by …

▪ Abstract Atomic force microscopy is an imaging tool used widely in fundamental research,
although it has, like other scanned probe microscopies, provided only limited information …

The third edition of this besteller covers the latest advancements in this rapidly growing field.
Focusing on analyses and critical evaluation of the subject, this new edition reviews the …

Chemical force microscopy (CFM) was used to probe interactions between ionizable and
neutral functional groups in aqueous solutions. Force microscope probe tips and sample …

The alkytrimethylammonium bromide surfactant series, C n TAB, n= 10, 12, 14, 16, is used to
perform a systematic study of the forces and stability of foam films produced from soluble …

The electrokinetic behaviors of nanobubbles internally generated by ultrasonication were
investigated in terms of the stability of bubble, size distribution and zeta-potentials. When …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to probe the effects of pH, ionic strength, and the
presence of bacterial surface polymers on interaction forces between individual, negatively …

A colloidal system represents a multiphase (heterogeneous) system, in which at least one of
the phases exists in the form of very small particles: typically smaller than 1 µm but still much …

The effect of counterion binding on the surface tension and surface potential of ionic
surfactant solutions is accounted for theoretically. It turns out that no every couple of …

This handbook brings together, under a single cover, all aspects of the chemistry, physics,
and engineering of surfaces and interfaces of materials currently studied in academic and …
