Measuring Molecular Forces With Atomic Force Microscopy 1: Solvent Influence on Hydrophobic Interactions. [PDF]
Microsc Res TechAtomic force microscopy enables precise evaluation of the magnitude and range of hydrophobic and van der Waals interactions. This primer presents a protocol for fluorocarbon functionalization of gold surfaces and examines how water: DMSO mixtures affect hydrophobic forces, with data interpreted through an extended van der Waals model.
