Friction, adhesion, and deformation: dynamic measurements with the atomic force microscope

摘要

A summary is given of the author's recent experimental and theoretical work involving the atomic force microscope, with the focus being upon dynamic measurements. Four topics are covered: calibration techniques for the friction force microscope, quantitative measurements of friction and the effect of adhesion, measurement and theory for the deformation and adhesion of viscoelastic particles, and the interaction and adhesion of hydrophobic surface due to briding nanobubbles.
