  • Chemical Force Microscopy Nanoscale Probing of Fundamental Chemical Interactions
    3 Chemical Force Microscopy Nanoscale Probing of Fundamental Chemical Interactions Aleksandr Noy, Dmitri V. Vezenov, and Charles M. Lieber 1 Basic Principles of Chemical Force Microscopy 1.1 Chemical Sensitivity in Scanning Probe Microscopy Measurements Intermolecular forces impact a wide spectrum of problems in condensed phases: from molecular recognition, self-assembly, and protein folding at the molecular and nanometer scale, to interfacial fracture, friction, and lubrication at a macroscopic length scale. Understanding these phenomena, regardless of the length scale, requires fundamen- tal knowledge of the magnitude and range of underlying weak interactions between basic chemical functionalities in these systems (Figure 1). While the theoretical description has long recognized that intermolecular forces are necessarily microscopic in origin, experi- mental efforts in direct force measurements at the microscopic level have been lagging behind and have only intensified in the course of the last decade. Atomic force microscopy (AFM)1,2 is an ideal tool for probing interactions between various chemical groups, since it has pico-Newton force sensitivity (i.e., several orders of magnitude better than the weak- est chemical bond3) and sub-nanometer spatial resolution (i.e., approaching the length of a chemical bond). These features enable AFM to produce nanometer to micron scale images of surface topography, adhesion, friction, and compliance, and make it an essential charac- terization technique for fields ranging from materials science to biology. As the name implies, intermolecular forces are at the center of the AFM operation. However, during the routine use of this technique the specific chemical groups on an AFM probe tip are typically ill-defined.

  • Revisiting the Interaction Force Measurement Between Lipid
    Journal of Oleo Science Copyright ©2018 by Japan Oil Chemists’ Society doi : 10.5650/jos.ess18088 J. Oleo Sci. 67, (11) 1361-1372 (2018) REVIEW Revisiting the Interaction Force Measurement between Lipid Bilayers Using a Surface Forces Apparatus (SFA) Dong Woog Lee School of Energy and Chemical Engineering, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, 50 UNIST-gil, Ulju-gun 44919, Republic of KOREA Abstract: In this review, previous researches that measured intermembrane forces using the Surface Forces Apparatus are recapitulated. Different types of interaction forces are reported between two lipid bilayers including non-specific interactions (e.g., van der Waals, electrostatic, steric hydration, thermal undulation, and hydrophobic) and specific interactions (e.g., ligand-receptor). By measuring absolute distance and interaction forces at the sub-angstrom level and at a few nano-Newtons resolution, respectively, magnitudes, working ranges, and decay lengths of interaction between lipid bilayers are investigated. Utilizing recently developed fluorescence microscopy attachments, simultaneous fluorescence imaging of membrane proteins and lipid phases can be performed during approach/separation cycles of two lipid bilayer deposited surfaces, which can reveal cooperative effects between lipid phases and various types of membrane proteins.

  • Electrical Double Layer Interactions with Surface Charge Heterogeneities
    Electrical double layer interactions with surface charge heterogeneities by Christian Pick A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland October 2015 © 2015 Christian Pick All rights reserved Abstract Particle deposition at solid-liquid interfaces is a critical process in a diverse number of technological systems. The surface forces governing particle deposition are typically treated within the framework of the well-known DLVO (Derjaguin-Landau- Verwey-Overbeek) theory. DLVO theory assumes of a uniform surface charge density but real surfaces often contain chemical heterogeneities that can introduce variations in surface charge density. While numerous studies have revealed a great deal on the role of charge heterogeneities in particle deposition, direct force measurement of heterogeneously charged surfaces has remained a largely unexplored area of research. Force measurements would allow for systematic investigation into the effects of charge heterogeneities on surface forces. A significant challenge with employing force measurements of heterogeneously charged surfaces is the size of the interaction area, referred to in literature as the electrostatic zone of influence. For microparticles, the size of the zone of influence is, at most, a few hundred nanometers across. Creating a surface with well-defined patterned heterogeneities within this area is out of reach of most conventional photolithographic techniques. Here, we present a means of simultaneously scaling up the electrostatic zone of influence and performing direct force measurements with micropatterned heterogeneously charged surfaces by employing the surface forces apparatus (SFA). A technique is developed here based on the vapor deposition of an aminosilane (3- aminopropyltriethoxysilane, APTES) through elastomeric membranes to create surfaces for force measurement experiments.

  • Interface-Sensitive Raman Microspectroscopy of Water Via Confinement with a Multimodal Miniature Surface Forces Apparatus Hilton B
    Interface-Sensitive Raman Microspectroscopy of Water via Confinement with a Multimodal Miniature Surface Forces Apparatus Hilton B. de Aguiar,1,* Joshua D. McGraw,1,2 Stephen H. Donaldson Jr.1,* 1Département de Physique, Ecole Normale Supérieure/PSL Research University, CNRS, 24 rue Lhomond, 75005 Paris, France 2Gulliver CNRS UMR 7083, PSL Research University, ESPCI Paris, 10 rue Vauquelin, 75005 Paris, France *Corresponding authors: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Modern interfacial science is increasingly multi-disciplinary. Unique insight into interfacial interactions requires new multimodal techniques for interrogating surfaces with simultaneous complementary physical and chemical measurements. We describe here the design and testing of a microscope that incorporates a miniature Surface Forces Apparatus (μSFA) in sphere vs. flat mode for force-distance measurements, while simultaneously acquiring Raman spectra of the confined zone. The microscope uses a simple optical setup that isolates independent optical paths for (i) the illumination and imaging of Newton’s Rings and (ii) Raman-mode excitation and efficient signal collection. We benchmark the methodology by examining Teflon thin films in asymmetric (Teflon-water-glass) and symmetric (Teflon-water-Teflon) configurations. Water is observed near the Teflon-glass interface with nanometer-scale sensitivity in both the distance and Raman signals. We perform chemically-resolved, label-free imaging of confined contact regions between Teflon and glass surfaces immersed in water. Remarkably, we estimate that the combined approach enables vibrational spectroscopy with single water monolayer sensitivity within minutes. Altogether, the Raman-μSFA allows exploration of molecular confinement between surfaces with chemical selectivity and correlation with interaction forces.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 General The DLVO theory (1,2) states that the total force (Ft) between lyophobic particles immersed in a solvent is given by the algebraic sum of the electrical double layer repulsion (Fe) and the van der Waals (vdW) attraction (Fd): Ft = Fe + Fd (1) Figure 1.1 shows a schematic of the interaction between two surfaces in a polar liquid. Mathematically, Fe can be approximately described by an exponential function, whereas Fd follows an inverse power law. The net result is that, usually, at small separations, the dispersion force dominates, whereas, at larger separations, the double layer repulsion is dominant. This interplay between the two forces gives rise to a typical curve with an energy barrier as shown in Figure 1. With the advent of force measuring devices like the Surface Force Apparatus (SFA) and the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), it has become possible to measure, with great sensitivity, the interaction forces between two surfaces down to molecular separations. As a result of these force measurements, serious limitations of the DLVO theory have come into light. Specifically, in aqueous solutions, depending on the situation, one has to take into account: (i) the extraneous attraction between hydrophobic surfaces known as the hydrophobic force (3-5); (ii) repulsive primary hydration forces between lipid bilayers (6) and silica surfaces (7-11); (iii) repulsive secondary hydration forces between mica and rutile surfaces (12,13); (iv) oscillatory forces due to solvent structure and layering near surfaces (14,15); (v) depletion force in micellar systems (16,17); (vi) ion-correlation effects (18) and (vii) fluctuation forces between soft surfaces like bilayers (19).

  • Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Lubrication by Ionic Liquids: Activated Slip and Flow
    lubricants Article Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Lubrication by Ionic Liquids: Activated Slip and Flow Mengwei Han and Rosa M. Espinosa-Marzal * ID University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 205 N Matthews Avenue, Urbana, IL 61801, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 19 June 2018; Accepted: 17 July 2018; Published: 20 July 2018 Abstract: The present study provides molecular insight into the mechanisms underlying energy dissipation and lubrication of a smooth contact lubricated by an ionic liquid. We have performed normal and lateral force measurements with a surface forces apparatus and by colloidal probe atomic force microscopy on the following model systems: 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium bis-(trifluoro-methylsulfonyl) imide, in dry state and in equilibrium with ambient (humid) air; the surface was either bare mica or functionalized with a polymer brush. The velocity-dependence of the friction force reveals two different regimes of lubrication, boundary-film lubrication, with distinct characteristics for each model system, and fluid-film lubrication above a transition velocity V∗. The underlying mechanisms of energy dissipation are evaluated with molecular models for stress-activated slip and flow, respectively. The stress-activated slip assumes that two boundary layers (composed of ions/water strongly adsorbed to the surface) slide past each other; the dynamics of interionic interactions at the slip plane and the strength of the interaction dictate the change in friction -decreasing, increasing or remaining constant- with velocity in the boundary-film lubrication regime. Above a transition velocity V∗, friction monotonically increases with velocity in the three model systems. Here, multiple layers of ions slide past each other (“flow”) under a shear stress and friction depends on a shear-activation volume that is significantly affected by confinement.

    Australasian Colloid and Interface Society Web: http://acis.wildapricot.org; E-mail: [email protected] ACIS Newsletter – Issue 16, October 2018 Welcome Dear members, Welcome to our 16th issue of ACIS News! We produce a quarterly newsletter - sent around in March, June, October, and December - to keep ACIS members informed of our initiatives and for members to directly communicate with our Society. We publish job announcements, meetings of interests to our society, career development opportunities and any exciting research that you would like to share with us. To keep you up to date with the on-goings in our colloids society, please send your suggestions and items for the next newsletter to [email protected]. Jacob Nissim Israelachvili (1944 - 2018) Prof. Jacob Israelachvili was a leading light in colloid and interface science, and the undisputed world leader in experimental measurement of surface forces. He had a close connection with Australia, having worked at ANU from 1974 to 1986, where he developed his surface forces apparatus (SFA) to operate in liquid media. This achievement, and a series of seminal papers that resulted from it, launched his international career before he relocated to the University of California Santa Barbara in 1986, remaining there until he lost his battle with cancer on 20 September 2018. Born in Israel in 1944, Jacob (as everyone in the colloid community knew him) was educated in England, culminating in a PhD in physics at the University of Cambridge. He was supervised there by Prof. David Tabor, whose group had been developing methods of measuring interactions between molecularly smooth mica surfaces using optical interferometry to determine the distance between two opposing surfaces at Angstrom resolution.

We have observed the emergence of velocity dependent, shear-induced normal forces, which can be large enough to entrain a fluid film that separates the surfaces out of contact, driving the dynamic system from conditions of boundary to hydrodynamic lubrication.
