✦ Synopsis

The friction between a single silica glass sphere and a flat silica glass surface has been investigated using lateral force microscopy. Two types of silica surface were investigated, one fully hydroxylated and the other partially dehydroxlated. These samples have markedly different wetting properties and are known as hydrophilic and hydrophobic silica, respectively. The lateral friction force as a function of applied normal load has been collected for five different-sized spheres for both surface types. Analysis of the friction versus load data indicates that the hydrophilic surfaces have a molecularly smooth contact. For the hydrophobic surfaces, it is not clear whether the friction-load response is caused by a smooth or an asperity-dominated contact zone. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

Adhesive and frictional forces between surfaces modified with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and immersed in solvents were measured with chemical force microscopy as functions of surface functionality and solvent. Si/SiO 2 substrates were modified with SAMs of alkylsiloxanes (SiCl 3 (CH 2 ) n -X),

Adhesion force and contact angle measurements between an aqueous solution of the nonionic surfactant TN 101 and silica surface have been studied. The variation of the contact angle is a function of the adsorption of the surfactant at the liquid-vapor, solid-liquid, and solid-vapor interfaces. The co

On altering solution conditions, the structure can revert to a more expanded state, thereby exposing previously hidden domains (e.g., cell‐binding sites

## Abstract The influence of mica surface on DNA/ethidium bromide interactions is investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). We describe the diffusion mechanism of a DNA molecule on a mica surface by using a simple analytical model. It appears that the DNA diffusion on a mica surface is limited
