Particle and Thin Film Adhesion

21 May 2024 | Series | Contributor(s): Carl Wassgren

The adhesion of micron and sub-micron scale particles to surfaces is of tremendous interest in a wide range of industrial and civilian applications. We measure directly the adhesion of particles to surfaces using atomic force microscopy and develop experimentally-validated, science-based models...

A Theoretical and Experimental Study of Surface Forces in Adhesion of Particles to Thin Films

21 May 2024 | Publications | Contributor(s): Carl Wassgren

The interactions between micron- and nano-particles and rough surfaces are of great importance and have numerous applications in surface science and biotechnology. It is essential to have estimates of surface/intermolecular forces between interacting bodies to describe and to manipulate the...

Hopper Segregation
