AFM Study of Forces Between Polyurethane Pads and Ceria Nanoparticles
INTRODUCTION Interactions of the ceria particles with polyurethane surfaces are of great interest for polishing processes used in modern semiconductor industry. Specifically, ceria abrasive nanoparticles and polyurethane polishing pads are now broadly used in the process called Chemical-Mechanical Planarization/Polishing (CMP) [1,2,3]. To optimize the process of CMP, various chemicals, abrasive...
متن کاملAtomic Force Microscopy Probing of Receptor–Nanoparticle Interactions for Riboflavin Receptor Targeted Gold–Dendrimer Nanocomposites
Riboflavin receptors are overexpressed in malignant cells from certain human breast and prostate cancers, and they constitute a group of potential surface markers important for cancer targeted delivery of therapeutic agents and imaging molecules. Here we report on the fabrication and atomic force microscopy (AFM) characterization of a core-shell nanocomposite consisting of a gold nanoparticle (...
متن کاملStudy of the flexural sensitivity and resonant frequency of an inclined AFM cantilever with sidewall probe
The resonant frequency and sensitivity of an atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever with assembled cantilever probe (ACP) have been analyzed and a closed-form expression for the sensitivity of vibration modes has been obtained. The proposed ACP comprises an inclined cantilever and extension, and a tip located at the free end of the extension, which makes the AFM capable of topography at sidew...
متن کاملProtein High-Force Pulling Simulations Yield Low-Force Results
All-atom explicit-solvent molecular dynamics simulations are used to pull with extremely large constant force (750-3000 pN) on three small proteins. The introduction of a nondimensional timescale permits direct comparison of unfolding across all forces. A crossover force of approximately 1100 pN divides unfolding dynamics into two regimes. At higher forces, residues sequentially unfold from the...
متن کاملRecording the dynamic endocytosis of single gold nanoparticles by AFM-based force tracing.
We utilized force tracing to directly record the endocytosis of single gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) with different sizes, revealing the size-dependent endocytosis dynamics and the crucial role of membrane cholesterol. The force, duration and velocity of Au NP invagination are accurately determined at the single-particle and microsecond level unprecedentedly.
