Surface Evaluation of Resin Zein Films Containing Sugar Plasticizers by Permeability and Atomic Force Microscopy Analysis
Zein is one of the best biopolymer for edible film making and sugars are natural plasticizers for biopolymers. In this research, sugars (fructose, galactose and glucose) at three levels (0.5, 0.7, 1 g/g of zein) were used as plasticizers for zein protein films and their water vapor permeability (WVP), oxygen permeability (OP) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) topography were studied. The p...
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 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 کاملDirect 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 کاملMeasurement of the forces between gold surfaces in water by atomic force microscopy
The forces between a flat gold surface and a gold-coated silica sphere have been measured in water using an atomic force microscope. A long-range attractive interaction is observed which is ascribed to the van der Waals interaction between the two surfaces. The force data agree extremely well with recent, calculated values of the Hamaker function (including retardation) for gold/water/gold. The...
