R. Raiteri et al., PRELIMINARY-RESULTS ON THE ELECTROSTATIC DOUBLE-LAYER FORCE BETWEEN 2SURFACES WITH HIGH SURFACE-POTENTIALS, Colloids and surfaces. A, Physicochemical and engineering aspects, 136(1-2), 1998, pp. 191-197
The aim of this study is to measure interaction forces between surface
s with high electric potentials in aqueous electrolyte solutions. Ther
efore the force between a gold sample and a gold sphere attached to th
e end of an atomic force microscope cantilever was measured. Gold samp
le and sphere were electrically connected and served as the working el
ectrode. A potential was applied via a platinized platinum electrode.
Experimental results are compared to forces approximated with the Pois
son-Boltzmann theory. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
