Based on the Extended-Maugis-Dugdale (EMD) elastic theory, a single asperity capillary meniscus model considering asperity deformation due to both contact and adhesive forces was developed. Specifically included in the single asperity meniscus model was the solid surface interaction inside the contact area. Subsequently, the single asperity model was coupled with a statistical roughness surface model to develop an improved meniscus surface model applicable to a wide-range of humidity levels and adhesion parameter values. Simulations were performed using typical surfaces found in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and magnetic storage hard disk drives to examine the effects of surface roughness and relative humidity. It was found that smoother surfaces give rise to higher adhesive and pull-off forces, and at higher relative humidity levels, the capillary force governs the adhesive behavior. As the humidity decreases, the solid surface interaction increases and needs to be included in the total meniscus adhesion. By integrating the adhesive force-displacement curves, the adhesion energy per unit area was calculated for MEMS surfaces and favorably compared with reported experimental data.  相似文献

Nanodot‐textured surface, nanorod‐textured surface and nanocomposite‐textured surface were prepared by the hydrothermal technique and successive ion layer absorption and reaction technique. The adhesion and friction properties of the three kinds of nanotextured surfaces were investigated using an atomic force microscope colloidal probe. Experimental results revealed that the nanorod‐textured surface and nanocomposite‐textured surface can significantly reduce adhesive and friction forces compared with a nanodot‐textured surface. The main reason for this phenomenon was that the nanorod and nanocomposite textures can reduce contact area between the sample surface and the colloidal probe. The effects of surface root mean square roughness, applied load and sliding velocity on the adhesion and friction behaviors of the nanotextured surfaces were investigated. The adhesive and friction forces of the nanotextured surfaces decreased with the increasing surface root mean square roughness. Compared with the nanocomposite‐textured surface, the nanorod‐textured surface has better adhesion and frictional performance. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Time-dependent bacterial adhesion forces of four strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis to hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces were investigated. Initial adhesion forces differed significantly between the two surfaces and hovered around -0.4 nN. No unambiguous effect of substratum surface hydrophobicity on initial adhesion forces for the four different S. epidermidis strains was observed. Over time, strengthening of the adhesion forces was virtually absent on hydrophobic dimethyldichlorosilane (DDS)-coated glass, although in a few cases multiple adhesion peaks developed in the retract curves. Bond-strengthening on hydrophilic glass occurred within 5-35 s to maximum adhesion forces of -1.9 +/- 0.7 nN and was concurrent with the development of multiple adhesion peaks upon retract. Poisson analysis of the multiple adhesion peaks allowed separation of contributions of hydrogen bonding from other nonspecific interaction forces and revealed a force contribution of -0.8 nN for hydrogen bonding and +0.3 nN for other nonspecific interaction forces. Time-dependent bacterial adhesion forces were comparable for all four staphylococcal strains. It is concluded that, on DDS-coated glass, the hydrophobic effect causes instantaneous adhesion, while strengthening of the bonds on hydrophilic glass is dominated by noninstantaneous hydrogen bond formation.  相似文献

We used chemical force microscopy (CFM) to study adhesive forces between surfaces of epoxy resin and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) capable of hydrogen bonding to different extents. The influence of the liquid medium in which the experiments were carried out was also examined systematically. The molecular character of the tip, polymer, and liquid all influenced the adhesion. Complementary macroscopic contact angle measurements were used to assist in the quantitative interpretation of the CFM data. A direct correlation between surface free energy and adhesion forces was observed in mixed alcohol-water solvents. An increase in surface energy from 2 to 50 mJ/m(2) resulted in an increase in adhesion from 4-8 nN to 150-300 nN for tips with radii of 50-150 nm. The interfacial surface energy for identical nonpolar surface groups of SAMs was found not to exceed 2 mJ/m(2). An analysis of adhesion data suggests that the solvent was fully excluded from the zone of contact between functional groups on the tip and sample. With a nonpolar SAM, the force of adhesion increased monotonically in mixed solvents of higher water content; whereas, with a polar SAM (one having a hydrogen bonding component), higher water content led to decreased adhesion. The intermolecular force components theory was used for the interpretation of adhesion force measurements in polar solvents. Competition between hydrogen bonding within the solvent and hydrogen bonding of surface groups and the solvent was shown to provide the main contribution to adhesion forces. We demonstrate how the trends in the magnitude of the adhesion forces for chemically heterogeneous systems (solvents and surfaces) measured with CFM can be quantitatively rationalized using the surface tension components approach. For epoxy polymer, inelastic deformations also contributed heavily to measured adhesion forces.  相似文献

A combined theoretical and experimental study of the adhesion of alumina particles and polystyrene latex spheres to silicon dioxide surfaces was performed. A boundary element technique was used to model electrostatic interactions between micron-scale particles and planar surfaces when the particles and surfaces were in contact. This method allows quantitative evaluation of the effects of particle geometry and surface roughness on the electrostatic interaction. The electrostatic interactions are combined with a previously developed model for van der Waals forces in particle adhesion. The combined model accounts for the effects of particle and substrate geometry, surface roughness and asperity deformation on the adhesion force. Predictions from the combined model are compared with experimental measurements made with an atomic force microscope. Measurements are made in aqueous solutions of varying ionic strength and solution pH. While van der Waals forces are generally dominant when particles are in contact with surfaces, results obtained here indicate that electrostatic interactions contribute to the overall adhesion force in certain cases. Specifically, alumina particles with complex geometries were found to adhere to surfaces due to both electrostatic and van der Waals interactions, while polystyrene latex spheres were not affected by electrostatic forces when in contact with various surfaces.  相似文献

Direct measurements of the pull-off (adhesion) forces between pharmaceutical particles (beclomethasone dipropionate, a peptide-type material, and lactose) with irregular geometry and rough polymeric surfaces (series of polypropylene coatings, polycarbonate, and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) were carried out using the atomic force microscope. These measurements showed that roughness of the interacting surfaces is the significant factor affecting experimentally measured pull-off forces. A broad distribution of pull-off force values was noted in the measurements, caused by a varying adhesive contact area for a particle located on rough substrate. The possibility of multiple points of contact between irregularly shaped pharmaceutical particles and substrate surfaces is demonstrated with nanoindentations of the particle in a fluoro-polymer film. Force-distance curves showing the "sawtooth" pattern are additional evidence that particles make contact with substrates at more than one point. Reduced adhesion of 10- to 14-microm-diameter lactose and peptide material particles to the polypropylene coatings with a roughness of 194 nm was found in this study. Similar pull-off force versus roughness relationships are also reported for the model spherical particles, silanized glass particle with a size of 10 microm and polystyrene particle with a diameter of 9 microm, in contact with polypropylene coatings of varying roughness characteristics. It was found that the model recently proposed by Rabinovich et al. (J. Colloid Interface Sci. 232, 1-16 (2000)) closely predicts the pull-off forces for glass and lactose particles. On the other hand, the adhesion of the peptide material and polystyrene particle to polypropylene is underestimated by about an order of magnitude with the theoretical model, in which the interacting substrates are treated as rigid materials. The underestimate is attributed to the deformation of the peptide material and polystyrene particles.  相似文献

Geckos have developed a unique hierarchical structure to maintain climbing ability on surfaces with different roughness, one of the extremely important parameters that affect the friction and adhesion forces between two surfaces. Although much attention has been paid on fabricating various structures that mimic the hierarchical structure of a gecko foot, yet no systematic effort, in experiment or theory, has been made to quantify the effect of surface roughness on the performance of the fabricated structures that mimic the hierarchical structure of geckos. Using a modified surface forces apparatus (SFA), we measured the adhesion and friction forces between microfabricated tilted PDMS flaps and optically smooth SiO(2) and rough SiO(2) surfaces created by plasma etching. Anisotropic adhesion and friction forces were measured when sliding the top glass surface along (+y) and against (-y) the tilted direction of the flaps. Increasing the surface roughness first increased the adhesion and friction forces measured between the flaps and the rough surface due to topological matching of the two surfaces but then led to a rapid decrease in both of these forces. Our results demonstrate that the surface roughness significantly affects the performance of gecko mimetic adhesives and that different surface textures can either increase or decrease the adhesion and friction forces of the fabricated adhesives.  相似文献

Surface roughness plays an important role in affecting the adhesive force and friction force in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)/nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). One effective approach of reducing adhesion and friction of contacting interfaces is to create textured surface, which is especially beneficial for MEMS'/NEMS' production yield and product reliability. In this article, we present a convenient method to fabricate the nano‐textured surfaces by self‐assembling Au nanoparticles (NPs) on the silicon (100) surfaces. The nanoparticle‐textured surfaces (NPTS) with different packing density and texture height were prepared by controlling the assembling time and the size of Au NPs. The morphologies and chemical states of NPTS were characterized by atomic force microscope (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscope, and XPS. The adhesion and friction on the NPTS were studied by AFM with colloidal tip. The results show that the nano‐textured surfaces have effectively reduced adhesive force and friction force compared with the 3‐aminopropyl trimethoxysilane self‐assembled monolayer surfaces. The lowered adhesion and friction were attributed to the reduced real area of contact between NPTS and colloidal tip. The adhesion and friction of the NPTS are varying with the texture packing density and dependent on both the texture height and asperities spacing, which are related to the size and coverage ratio of NPs on surfaces.

Atomic force microscopes (AFM) are commonly used to measure adhesion at nanoscale between two surfaces. To avoid uncertainties in the contact areas between the tip and the surface, colloidal probes have been used for adhesion measurements. We measured adhesion between glass spheres and silicon (100) surface using colloidal probes of different radii under controlled conditions (relative humidity of < 3%, temperature of 25 +/- 1 degrees C). Results showed that the adhesion forces did not correlate with the radii of the spheres as suggested by elastic contact mechanics theories. Surface roughness and random surface features were found on the surfaces of the colloidal probes. We evaluated various roughness parameters, Rumpf and Rabinovich models, and a load-bearing area correction model in an attempt to correct for the roughness effects on adhesion, but the results were unsatisfactory. We developed a new multiscale contact model taking into account elastic as well as plastic deformation in a successive contacting mode. The new model was able to correct for most of the surface roughness features except for surface ridges with sharp angular features, limited by the spherical asperity assumption made in the model.  相似文献

Using a surface forces apparatus (SFA) and an atomic force microscope (AFM) we have studied the effects of surface roughness (root-mean-square (RMS) roughness between 0.3 and 220 nm) on the "contact mechanics", which describes the deformations and loading and unloading adhesion forces, of various polymeric surfaces. For randomly rough, moderately stiff, elastomeric surfaces, the force-distance curves on approach and separation are nearly reversible and almost perfectly exponentially repulsive, with an adhesion on separation that decreases only slightly with increasing RMS. Additionally, the magnitude of the preload force is seen to play a large role in determining the measured adhesion. The exponential repulsion likely arises from the local compressions (fine-grained nano- or submicron-scale deformations) of the surface asperities. The resulting characteristic decay lengths of the repulsion scale with the RMS roughness and correlate very well with a simple finite element method (FEM) analysis based on actual AFM topographical images of the surfaces. For "patterned" surfaces, with a nonrandom terraced structure, no similar exponential repulsion is observed, suggesting that asperity height variability or random roughness is required for the exponential behavior. However, the adhesion force or energy between two "patterned" surfaces fell off dramatically and roughly exponentially as the RMS increased, likely owing to a significant decrease in the contact area which in turn determines their adhesion. For both types of rough surfaces, random and patterned, the coarse-grained (global, meso- or macroscopic) deformations of the initially curved surfaces appear to be Hertzian.  相似文献

Mapping of the surface properties of Staphylococcus epidermidis and of biofilm forming bacteria in general is a key to understand their functions, particularly their adhesive properties. To gain a comprehensive view of the structural and chemical properties of S. epidermidis, four different strains (biofilm positive and biofilm negative strains) were analyzed using in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM). Force measurements performed using bare hydrophilic silicon nitride tips disclosed similar adhesive properties for each strain. However, use of hydrophobic tips showed that hydrophobic forces are not the driving forces for adhesion of the four strains. Rather, the observation of sawtooth force-distance patterns on the surface of biofilm positive strains documents the presence of modular proteins such as Aap that may mediate cell adhesion. Treatment of two biofilm positive strains with two chemical inhibitor compounds leads to a loss of adhesion, suggesting that AFM could be a valuable tool to screen for anti-adhesion molecules.  相似文献

The atomic force microscope has been used to investigate normal surface forces and lateral friction forces at different concentrations of sodium oleate, a frequently used fatty acid in the deinking process. The measurements have been performed using the colloidal probe technique with bead materials consisting of cellulose and silica. Cellulose was used together with a printing ink alkyd resin and mica, whereas silica was used with a hydrophobized silica wafer. The cellulose-alkyd resin system showed stronger double layer repulsion and the friction was reduced with increasing surfactant concentration. The adhesive interaction disappeared immediately on addition of sodium oleate. The normal surface forces for cellulose-mica indicated no apparent adsorption of the sodium oleate however, the friction coefficient increased on addition of sodium oleate, which we ascribe to some limited adsorption increasing the effective surface roughness. The silica-hydrophobic silica system showed a completely different surface force behavior at the different concentrations. An attractive hydrophobic interaction was evident since the surfaces jumped into adhesive contact at a longer distance than the van der Waals forces would predict. The strong adhesion was reflected in the friction forces as a nonlinear relationship between load and friction and a large friction response at zero applied load. Indirect evidence of adsorption to the hydrophilic silica surface was also observed in this case, and QCM studies were performed to confirm the adsorption of material to both surfaces.  相似文献

Exopolymers are thought to influence bacterial adhesion to surfaces, but the time-dependent nature of molecular-scale interactions of biopolymers with a surface are poorly understood. In this study, the adhesion forces between two proteins and a polysaccharide [Bovine serum albumin (BSA), lysozyme, or dextran] and colloids (uncoated or BSA-coated carboxylated latex microspheres) were analyzed using colloid probe atomic force microscopy (AFM). Increasing the residence time of an uncoated or BSA-coated microsphere on a surface consistently increased the adhesion force measured during retraction of the colloid from the surface, demonstrating the important contribution of polymer rearrangement to increased adhesion force. Increasing the force applied on the colloid (loading force) also increased the adhesion force. For example, at a lower loading force of approximately 0.6 nN there was little adhesion (less than -0.47 nN) measured between a microsphere and the BSA surface for an exposure time up to 10 s. Increasing the loading force to 5.4 nN increased the adhesion force to -4.1 nN for an uncoated microsphere to a BSA surface and to as much as -7.5 nN for a BSA-coated microsphere to a BSA-coated glass surface for a residence time of 10 s. Adhesion forces between colloids and biopolymer surfaces decreased inversely with pH over a pH range of 4.5-10.6, suggesting that hydrogen bonding and a reduction of electrostatic repulsion were dominant mechanisms of adhesion in lower pH solutions. Larger adhesion forces were observed at low (1 mM) versus high ionic strength (100 mM), consistent with previous AFM findings. These results show the importance of polymers for colloid adhesion to surfaces by demonstrating that adhesion forces increase with applied force and detention time, and that changes in the adhesion forces reflect changes in solution chemistry.  相似文献

The mechanics of fibrillar adhesive surfaces of biological systems such as a Lotus leaf and a gecko are widely studied due to their unique surface properties. The Lotus leaf is a model for superhydrophobic surfaces, self-cleaning properties, and low adhesion. Gecko feet have high adhesion due to the high micro/nanofibrillar hierarchical structures. A nanostructured surface may exhibit low adhesion or high adhesion depending upon fibrillar density, and it presents the possibility of realizing eco-friendly surface structures with desirable adhesion. The current research, for the first time uses a patterning technique to fabricate smart adhesion surfaces: single- and two-level hierarchical synthetic adhesive structure surfaces with various fibrillar densities and diameters that allows the observation of either the Lotus or gecko adhesion effects. Contact angles of the fabricated structured samples were measured to characterize their wettability, and contamination experiments were performed to study for self-cleaning ability. A conventional and a glass ball attached to an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip were used to obtain the adhesive forces via force-distance curves to study scale effect. A further increase of the adhesive forces on the samples was achieved by applying an adhesive to the surfaces.  相似文献

The kinetic friction force and the adhesion force of Bacillus thuringiensis spores on planar surfaces in atmospheric systems were studied using atomic force microscopy. The influence of relative humidity (RH) on these forces varied for different surface properties including hydrophobicity, roughness, and surface charge. The friction force of the spore was greater on a rougher surface than on mica, which is atomically flat. As RH increases, the friction force of the spores decreases on mica whereas it increases on rough surfaces. The influence of RH on the interaction forces between hydrophobic surfaces is not as strong as for hydrophilic surfaces. The friction force of the spore is linear to the sum of the adhesion force and normal load on the hydrophobic surface. The poorly defined surface structure of the spore and the adsorption of contaminants from the surrounding atmosphere are believed to cause a discrepancy between the calculated and measured adhesion forces.  相似文献

This paper describes an effort to measure and model changes in the adhesion of micron-scale particles to substrates in systems in which chemical reactions are occurring. Contact interactions between polystyrene latex spheres and silicon substrates (with surface oxide) immersed in aqueous KNO(3) solutions were studied. Two important results were obtained. First, it was shown that the AFM can be employed to monitor, in situ, changes in adhesive interactions induced by surface chemical reactions in this system. Second, the morphology of the interacting surfaces plays a controlling role in particle adhesion. In particular, for this system, changes in roughness of the substrate changed the interaction force by nearly 90%. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.  相似文献

The transmission of high-frequency shear stress through a microscopic contact between an AFM tip and an oscillating quartz plate was measured as a function of vertical pressure, amplitude, and surface properties by monitoring the MHz component of the tip's deflection. For dry surfaces, the transmission of shear stress is proportional to the vertical load across the contact. This provides a measure of the forces of adhesion between the substrate and the tip. When stretching soft polymeric fibers created by pulling on the surface of a pressure sensitive adhesive, the transmitted shear stress decreased linearly with extension over the entire range of pulling. This contrasts with the static adhesive force, which remained about constant until it discontinuously dropped at the point of rupture.  相似文献

An atomic force microscope (AFM) has been used to quantify the adhesion of living cells Saccharomyces cerevisiae on three different silica surfaces with defined roughness. The effects of support roughness on the adhesion forces of a smooth silica particle were studied in addition. A living single cell was immobilized at the apex of a tipless AFM cantilever using a key-lock mechanism. Adhesion was quantified from the force-distance data measured on a smooth silica substrate and two substrates coated with hydrophilic monodisperse silica particles with 110 and 240 nm in diameter to study the effect of roughness on particle adhesion. The AFM technique gives unique insight into the primary colonization event of biofilm formation. The new knowledge helps substantially to design surface coatings relevant for biotechnology, medicine and dentistry.  相似文献

Instantaneous adhesion between different materials is a requirement for several applications ranging from electronics to biomedicine. Approaches such as surface patterning, chemical cross-linking, surface modification, and chemical synthesis have been adopted to generate temporary adhesion between various materials and surfaces. Because of the lack of curing times, temporary adhesives are instantaneous, a useful property for specific applications that need quick bonding. However, to this day, temporary adhesives have been mainly demonstrated under dry conditions and do not work well in submerged or humid environments. Furthermore, most rely on chemical bonds resulting from strong interactions with the substrate such as acrylate based. This work demonstrates the synthesis of a universal amphibious adhesive solely by combining solid polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and liquid polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymers. While the dipole-dipole interactions are induced by a large electronegativity difference between fluorine atoms in PTFE and hydrogen atoms in PDMS, strong surface wetting allows the proposed adhesive to fully coat both substrates and PTFE particles, thereby maximizing the interfacial chemistry. The two-phase solid–liquid polymer system displays adhesive characteristics applicable both in air and water, and enables joining of a wide range of similar and dissimilar materials (glasses, metals, ceramics, papers, and biomaterials). The adhesive exhibits excellent mechanical properties for the joints between various surfaces as observed in lap shear testing, T-peel testing, and tensile testing. The proposed biocompatible adhesive can also be reused multiple times in different dry and wet environments. Additionally, we have developed a new reactive force field parameterization and used it in our molecular dynamics simulations to validate the adhesive nature of the mixed polymer system with different surfaces. This simple amphibious adhesive could meet the need for a universal glue that performs well with a number of materials for a wide range of conditions.  相似文献

In the present work we analyze the dynamics of fibronectin (FN) adsorption on two different stable titanium oxides, with varied surface roughness, and chemically similar to those used in clinical practice. The two types of titanium oxide surfaces used were TiO2 sputtered on Si (TiO2 sp) and TiO2 formed on commercially pure titanium after immersion in H2O2 (TiO2 cp). Surface characterization was previously carried out using different techniques (Sousa, S. R.; Moradas-Ferreira, P.; Melo, L. V.; Saramago, B.; Barbosa, M. A. Langmuir 2004, 20 (22), 9745-9754). Imaging and roughness analysis before and after FN adsorption used atomic force microscopy (AFM) in tapping mode, in air, and in magnetic alternating current mode, in liquid (water). FN adsorption as a function of time was followed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), by radiolabeling of FN with 125I (125I-FN), and by ellipsometry. Exchangeability studies were performed using FN and HSA. AFM roughness analysis revealed that, before FN adsorption, both TiO2 surfaces exhibited a lower root-mean-square (Rq) and maximum peak with the depth of the maximum valley (Rmax) roughness in air than in water, due to TiO2 hydration. After protein adsorption, the same behavior was observed for the TiO2 sp substrate, while Rq and Rmax roughness values in air and in water were similar in the case of the TiO2 cp substrate, for the higher FN concentration used. Surface roughness was always significantly higher on the TiO2 cp surfaces. AFM led to direct visualization of adsorbed FN on both surfaces tested, indicating that after 10 min of FN incubation the TiO2 sp surface was partially covered by FN. The adsorbed protein seems to form globular aggregates or ellipsoids, and FN aggregates coalesce, forming clusters as the time of adsorption and the concentration increase. Radiolabeling of FN revealed that a rapid adsorption occurs on both surfaces and the amount adsorbed increased with time, reaching a maximum after 60 min of incubation. Time dependence is also observed for the evolution of the atomic (%) of N determined by XPS and by the increase of the thickness by ellipsometry. TiO2 cp adsorbs more FN than the TiO2 sp surfaces, after 60 min of adsorption, as shown by the radiolabeling data. FN molecules are also more strongly attached to the former surface as indicated by the exchangeability studies. The overall results provide novel evidence that FN spontaneously adsorbs as a self-assembly at TiO2 surfaces as a function of time. The aggregate structure is an intermediate feature shared by some protein fibrillar assemblies at interfaces, which is believed to promote cell adhesion and cytoskeleton organization (Pellenc, D.; Berry, H.; Gallet, O. J. Colloid Interface Sci. 2006, 298 (1), 132-144. Maheshwari, G.; Brown, G.; Lauffenburger, D. A.; Wells, A.; Griffith, L. G. J. Cell Sci. 2000, 113 (10), 1677-1686).  相似文献
