The attachment of particles to bubbles in solution is of fundamental importance to several industrial processes, most notably in the process of froth flotation. During this process hydrophobic particles attach to air bubbles in solution, which allows them to be separated as froth at the surface. The

Analysis of latex blend films, made possible by TappingModeTM atomic force microscopy, has provided insight into the interaction properties of hard and soft latex particles. Looked at in isolation, the hard latex forms a cracked and opaque film with no detectable particle deformation, while the soft
Atomic force microscopy in conjunction with the colloid (silica) probe technique has been used to quantify the variations in electrical double-layer interactions and adhesion at different locations on a rough reverse osmosis membrane (AFC99) surface in NaCl solutions. Prior scanning of the membrane
The atomic force microscope (AFM) continues to fi nd increasing applications in nanoscale imaging, [ 1 ] metrology, [ 2 ] devices, [ 3 ] and manufacturing. [ 4 ] In these applications, tip size and shape critically affect the accuracy, resolution, and reliability of measurements and processes. [ 5 ]
Asymmetric blend polyethersulfone-polyimide (PES-PI) hollow fiber membranes prepared at different air gap and used for gas separation are characterized by atomic force microscopy (inside and out side surfaces) and by measuring the contact angle of out side surface. The outer surface was entirely dif
