Effect of corrosive environments and thermocycling on the attractive force of four types of dental magnetic attachments [PDF]
Background/purpose: One of the problems that has limited magnets’ wide acceptance by clinicians is their low corrosion resistance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of corrosive environments and thermocycling on the attractive force ...

Determination of the attractive force, adhesive force, adhesion energy and Hamaker constant of soot particles generated from a premixed methane/oxygen flame by AFM [PDF]
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to characterize the attractive force, adhesive force and adhesion energy between an AFM probe tip and nanometric soot particle generated by a premixed methane/oxygen flame.

Enhanced attractive force via torsion spring as rotatable tip structure in beam-structure electrostatic chucks [PDF]
This research aims to replace ball joints of beam-structure electrostatic chucks (BSESC), which are limited by issues such as structural friction and inconsistent operation, thus enhancing the applicability in industrial settings.

Bulk chemical composition contrast from attractive forces in AFM force spectroscopy [PDF]
A key application of atomic force microscopy (AFM) is the measurement of physical properties at sub-micrometer resolution. Methods such as force–distance curves (FDCs) or dynamic variants (such as intermodulation AFM (ImAFM)) are able to measure ...

Modeling of Attractive Force by Magnetic Wheel Used for Mobile Robot [PDF]
Mobile robots that are required to climb inclined ferromagnetic surfaces typically employ magnetic wheels. In order to design magnetic wheels and to properly size the permanent magnet as magnetizing source without the need for finite element analyses, a ...

Constraining the attractive fifth force in the general free scalar–tensor gravity with solar system experiments [PDF]
In this paper, we focus on the general free scalar–tensor gravity with three free coupling functions, which in the near-field region looks like general relativity (GR) plus a fifth force of Yukawa-type induced by the scalar field.

Force induced DNA melting in the presence of an attractive surface [PDF]
The self avoiding walk (SAW) model of the polymer has been extended to study the equilibrium properties of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) where two strands of the dsDNA are modeled by two mutually attracting self-avoiding walks (MASAWs) in the presence of ...

The Effect of Dissolved Gases on the Short-Range Attractive Force between Hydrophobic Surfaces in the Absence of Nanobubble Bridging [PDF]
The short-range attractive forces between hydrophobic surfaces are key factors in a wide range of areas such as protein folding, lipid self-assembly, and particle-bubble interaction such as in industrial flotation.
