✦ Synopsis

The hydrophobic effect--the tendency for oil and water to segregate--is important in diverse phenomena, from the cleaning of laundry, to the creation of micro-emulsions to make new materials, to the assembly of proteins into functional complexes. This effect is multifaceted depending on whether hydrophobic molecules are individually hydrated or driven to assemble into larger structures. Despite the basic principles underlying the hydrophobic effect being qualitatively well understood, only recently have theoretical developments begun to explain and quantify many features of this ubiquitous phenomenon.

An investigation is presented of the interaction of charged selfassembled monolayers (SAMs) with a monoprotic ionizable acid functional group (-COOH) and uncharged SAMs with a methyl terminated functional group (-CH 3 ). The strength of the interactions are determined using an atomic force microscop
