Direct Force Measurement of Liposomes by Atomic Force Microscopy
Liposomes serve as models for cells and show increasing applications in medical and nonmedical fields. Unilamellar vesicles are prepared from multilamellar vesicle (MLV) dispersions either by sonication or extrusion. The shape stability of liposomes is important in the understanding of membrane fusion, as well as in drug delivery and gene therapy. Therefore it has been the subject of numerous t...
متن کاملEquilibrium capillary forces with atomic force microscopy.
We present measurements of equilibrium forces resulting from capillary condensation. The results give access to the ultralow interfacial tensions between the capillary bridge and the coexisting bulk phase. We demonstrate this with solutions of associative polymers and an aqueous mixture of gelatin and dextran, with interfacial tensions around 10 microN/m. The equilibrium nature of the capillary...
متن کاملTheoretical Models for Surface Forces and Adhesion and Their Measurement Using Atomic Force Microscopy
The increasing importance of studies on soft matter and their impact on new technologies, including those associated with nanotechnology, has brought intermolecular and surface forces to the forefront of physics and materials science, for these are the prevailing forces in micro and nanosystems. With experimental methods such as the atomic force spectroscopy (AFS), it is now possible to measure...
متن کاملSize measurement of nanoparticles using atomic force microscopy.
This chapter outlines procedures for sample preparation and the determination of nanoparticle size using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Several procedures for dispersing gold nanoparticles on various surfaces such that they are suitable for imaging and height measurement via intermittent contact mode, or tapping mode, AFM are first described. The methods for AFM calibration and operation to mak...
متن کاملDirect Force Measurement of Comb Silicone Surfactantsin Alcoholic Media by Atomic Force Microscopy
The interaction forces provided by silicone polyether (SPE) surfactants, adsorbed at the interface of octadecyltrichlorosilan monolayer and aqueous surfactant solution, were measured by atomic force microscopy. Changes in the forces in the presence of ethanol were examined for a series of comb-type SPE surfactants. It was found that the steric repulsion provided by the SPE molecules persisted u...
