| Abstract: | Single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) is a new kind of technique based on atomic force microscope, which allows detecting force as low as pico-newtons directly. Herein based on our recent work, we want to demonstrate the investigation of supramolecular structures and interactions in polymer systems by SMFS, such as desorption force between polymer and substrate, identifiability of polymer micelle and its interaction with surfactant, splitting force of ion-induced helical structure in polysaccharide. It shows well that SMFS is a powerful tool in the study of supramolecular science. |
