چکیده

Recent experimental developments have enabled the measurement of dynamical forces between two moving liquid drops in solution using an atomic force microscope (AFM). The drop sizes, interfacial tension, and approach velocities used in the experiments are in a regime where surface forces, hydrodynamics, and drop deformation are all significant. A detailed theoretical model of the experimental setup which accounts for surface forces, hydrodynamic interactions, droplet deformation, and AFM cantilever deflection has been developed. In agreement with experimental observations, the calculated force curves show pseudo-constant compliance regions due to drop flattening, as well as attractive pull-off forces due mainly to hydrodynamic lubrication forces.

Effects of internal flow and viscosity ratio on measurements of dynamic forces between deformable drops.

A model that has been shown to give very accurate predictions of dynamic forces between deformable emulsion drops and bubbles is used to quantify the effects of internal flow and viscosity ratio on the hydrodynamic interaction in such systems. The results demonstrate that direct force measurement using an atomic force microscope can readily differentiate whether the interfaces of drops of diffe...

Measurements of dynamic forces between drops with the AFM: novel considerations in comparisons between experiment and theory

Dynamic forces between a deformable tetradecane oil drop (radius of curvature z 25 mm) anchored on the cantilever of the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and similar oil drops (radii of curvature 80 to 500 mm) on the substrate in aqueous electrolyte with added sodium dodecyl sulfate surfactant have been studied. Measurements were made over a range of scan rates that span the range of Brownian velo...

Finite Element Simulation of Contact Mechanics of Cancer Cells in Manipulation Based on Atomic Force Microscopy

The theory of contact mechanics deals with stresses and deformations which arise when the surfaces of two solid bodies are brought into contact. In elastic deformation contact occurs over a finite area. A regular method for determining the dimensions of this area is Hertz Contact Model. Appearance of atomic force microscope results in introduction of Contact ...
