Contact Studies of Weak Adhesive Interactions in Water with Membrane Enhanced Surface Acoustic Wave Analysis

Description:

The measurement of weak adhesive energies has previously been difficult to obtain. To measure these energies, I designed a technique that uses the combined sensitivities of both a quartz crystal resonator and the inflation of an elastomeric polymer membrane. The surfaces of the quartz crystal and/or the membrane are modified...
