abstract |
The viscosity of thin films of liquid poly(dimethylsiloxane) have been studied on
silicon and fluoropolymer-coated silicon by means of a perturbation technique applied
using colloid probe atomic force microscopy. The liquid film supported by a silicon
substrate exhibited a greater viscosity than the bulk liquid, due to the strong interaction
between the molecules near to the liquid/solid interface. In comparison, the liquid
film supported by a fluoropolymer-coated substrate exhibited a similar viscosity to
the bulk liquid, due to the weak interaction between the liquid and the fluoropolymer
surface. This demonstrates the possibility to control the viscosity of thin liquid
films via selection of the substrate chemical properties. |
