Effect of pH and hydration on the normal and lateral interaction forces between alumina surfaces

Interaction forces between alumina surfaces were measured using an AFM-colloid probe method at different pHs. For an alpha-alumina-sapphire system at acidic pH, the force curve exhibited a well-defined repulsive barrier and an attractive minimum. At basic pH, the interactive force was repulsive at all separations with no primary minimum. Lateral force measurements under the same conditions showed that frictional forces were nearly an order of magnitude smaller at basic pH than those observed at acidic pH. This behavior was attributed to the hydration of the alumina surface. Normal and lateral force measurements with the strongly hydrated rho-alumina surfaces supported these findings.     

Interaction forces between α-alumina fibres in aqueous electrolyte measured with an atomic force microscope

The surface charging properties of polycrystalline α-alumina fibres in aqueous electrolyte solutions have been investigated by direct force and streaming potential measurements. The presence of both Al and Si on the surface of the fibres resulted in a chemically heterogeneous surface. The heterogeneous distribution of Si resulted in large attractive forces between the fibres at moderate to low pH values and a pzc/iep at a pH value of approximately 5.5. The origin of this force was electrostatic in nature as the force profiles were well described by the DLVO theory of colloid stability. The agreement between the direct force and streaming potential measurements was good both in terms of the magnitude of the potentials and the position of the pzc/iep. By acid washing the fibres the chemical heterogeneity of the surface was reduced and the attractive force profiles at lower pH values were not observed. Instead repulsive forces were observed which were well described by DLVO theory at all separation distances greater than 8 nm. At smaller separation distances an additional repulsive force was measured which was attributed to the presence of a Al(OH)₃ like layer on the surface of the alumina. The acid washing treatment also resulted in a shift in the pH at which the pzc/iep occurred to a value of 6.5, presumably due to a lower surface silica concentration.     

Atomic force microscopy study of cellulose surface interaction controlled by cellulose binding domains

Colloidal probe microscopy has been used to study the interaction between model cellulose surfaces and the role of cellulose binding domain (CBD), peptides specifically binding to cellulose, in interfacial interaction of cellulose surfaces modified with CBDs. The interaction between pure cellulose surfaces in aqueous electrolyte solution is dominated by double layer repulsive forces with the range and magnitude of the net force dependent on electrolyte concentration. AFM imaging reveals agglomeration of CBD adsorbed on cellulose surface. Despite an increase in surface charge owing to CBD binding to cellulose surface, force profiles are less repulsive for interactions involving, at least, one modified surface. Such changes are attributed to irregularity of the topography of protein surface and non-uniform distribution of surface charges on the surface of modified cellulose. Binding double CBD hybrid protein to cellulose surfaces causes adhesive forces at retraction, whereas separation curves obtained with cellulose modified with single CBD show small adhesion only at high ionic strength. This is possibly caused by the formation of the cross-links between cellulose surfaces in the case of double CBD.

Colloidal forces between bitumen surfaces in aqueous solutions measured with atomic force microscope

Colloidal forces between bitumen surfaces in aqueous solutions were measured with an atomic force microscope (AFM). The results showed a significant impact of solution pH, salinity, calcium and montmorillonite clay addition on both long-range (non-contact) and adhesion (pull-off) forces. Weaker long-range repulsive forces were observed under conditions of lower solution pH, higher salinity and higher calcium concentration. Lower solution pH, salinity and calcium concentration resulted in a stronger adhesion forces. The addition of montmorillonite clays increased long-range repulsive forces and decreased adhesion forces, particularly when co-added with calcium ions. The measured force profiles were fitted with extended DLVO theory to show the repulsive electrostatic double layer and attractive hydrophobic forces being the dominant components in the long-range forces between the bitumen surfaces. At a very short separation distance (less than 4–6 nm), a strong repulsion of steric origin was observed. The findings provide a fundamental understanding of bitumen emulsion stability and a mechanism of bitumen “aeration” in bitumen recovery processes from oil sands.     

Effect of solution concentration, surface bias and protonation on the dynamic response of amplitude-modulated atomic force microscopy in water

The dynamic response of amplitude-modulated atomic force microscopy (AM-AFM) is studied at the solid/water interface with respect to changes in ionic concentration, applied surface potential, and surface protonation. Each affects the electric double layer in the solution, charge on the tip and the sample surface, and thus the forces affecting the dynamic response. A theoretical model is developed to relate the effective stiffness and hydrodynamic damping of the AFM cantilever that is due to the tip/surface interaction with the phase and amplitude signals measured in the AM-AFM experiments. The phase and amplitude of an oscillating cantilever are measured as a function of tip-sample distance in three experiments: mica surface in potassium nitrate solutions with different concentrations, biased gold surface in potassium nitrate solution, and carboxylic acid-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold in potassium nitrate pH buffers. Results show that, over the range where the higher harmonic modes of the oscillation are negligible, the effective stiffness of the AFM cantilever increases to a maximum as the tip approaches the surface before declining again as a result of the repulsive electrical double layer interaction. For attractive electrical double-layer interactions, the effective stiffness declines monotonically as the tip approaches the surface. Similarly, the hydrodynamic damping of the tip increases and then decreases as the tip approaches the solid/water interface, with the magnitude depending on the species present in the solution.     

Anomalous pH dependent stability behavior of surfactant-free nonpolar oil drops in aqueous electrolyte solutions

Recent advances in atomic force microscopy (AFM) force measurement techniques have allowed the direct measurement and theoretical interpretation of the interaction between a liquid droplet and a solid surface or between two liquid droplets. In this study, we investigated the interaction across an aqueous thin film between fluorocarbon (perfluoropentane) droplets, hydrocarbon (tetradecane) droplets, and a droplet and a flat mica surface in the absence of stabilizers. It was found that even at a relatively elevated electrolyte concentration of 0.1 M NaNO3, depending on the solution pH, interactions between two identical droplets or a droplet and a mica surface could be repulsive. A simple theoretical analysis of the magnitude and range of these interactive forces suggests that the DLVO theory cannot explain the observed behavior. The measured force behavior is discussed in the context of ion adsorption, and the arising charging effects, at the bare oil-water interface.     

AFM interaction study of alpha-alumina particle and c-sapphire surfaces at high-ionic-strength electrolyte solutions

Ionic strength dependence of interaction and friction forces between hydrophilic alpha-alumina particles and c-sapphire surfaces (0001) were investigated under basic pH conditions using the colloidal probe method. The compression of the double layer could be seen from force-distance curves as the ionic strength of the solution increased. The forces were repulsive at all ionic strengths measured, even though the interaction distance changed drastically. No jump to contact occurred. The interaction distance decreased from about 20 nm in 10(-3) M KCl solution to about 7 nm in the 1 M KCl case. The lubricating effect of hydrated cations on the lateral friction force was demonstrated at high electrolyte concentrations. This was attributed to more hydrated cations being present in the solution. The friction behavior was closely related to the short-range repulsive forces between the alpha-alumina surfaces at pH 11.     

Colloid probe AFM investigation of the influence of cross-linking on the interaction behavior and nano-rheology of colloidal droplets

The repulsive forces between a glass sphere and immobilized colloidal droplets of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) (with various levels of internal cross-linking) have been determined in aqueous solution using colloid probe atomic force microscopy. On initial surface approach, droplet deformation is negligible and interaction forces resemble those expected for electrical double layer interaction of rigid spheres. Upon further approach, droplet flattening results in forces that deviate below rigid body electrical double layer interaction. The extent of droplet deformation has been determined in terms of the deviation from hard-sphere interaction. Droplet deformability is strongly dependent on the droplet cross-linking level and hence controlled by some combination of the bulk rheological and interfacial properties of the droplets. Droplet nano-rheology has been determined from the extent of force curve hysteresis. For liquidlike droplets, with low levels of cross-linking, no force curve hysteresis is observed and the elastic deformation may be described by a single spring constant, which is controlled by the interfacial properties. For highly cross-linked droplets, the extent of deformation is controlled by the droplet's bulk rheology rather than the interfacial properties. Upon retraction of the surfaces, force curve hysteresis is observed and is due to the viscoelastic response of the PDMS. The extent of hysteresis is dependent on the rate of approach/retraction and the loading force and has been theoretically analyzed to determine nano-rheological parameters that describe droplet relaxation processes. Elastic moduli and relaxation times of the PDMS droplets vary over several orders of magnitude as a function of cross-linking.     

AFM measurements of forces between silica surfaces

Interaction forces and adhesion between a silica sphere and a flat silica surface in aqueous electrolyte solutions were investigated by atomic force microscopy. The forces were measured as a function of surface separation, pH and NaCl concentration as the surfaces were approaching each other. The adhesion force was determined upon retraction with respect to pH, NaCl concentration and contact time. The magnitude of the long range repulsive force was decreasing with decreasing pH. A short range repulsive force was observed at pH = 2, but no long range repulsive forces were observed at this pH. Force measurements showed that adhesion of silica surfaces in water was obstructed by short and long range repulsive forces. Adhesion was enhanced when both the long and the short range repulsive force was mitigated. A maximum adhesion force of 7.8 mN/m was measured at pH = 12.5 when the short range force vanished and the long range repulsive force was reduced by increasing the NaCl concentration. At pH = 12.5, the work of adhesion was calculated to be 1.2 mJ/m² according to the Derjaguin–Muller–Toporov (DMT) model. Adhesion energy was much less at pH = 2 (0.3 mJ/m²) due to persistive short range repulsion.
