An interaction of potassium buthylxanthate and of dibuthyldixanthogen with metallic Ti, stainless steel and α-TiO2 surfaces was studied. Contact angle measurements by sessile drop technique showed that the treatment of initial substrate surfaces with potassium buthylxanthate aqueous solution or with dibuthyldixanthogen emulsion render them more hydrophobic. Using in situ atomic force spectroscopy, the sorption of surface active substances was shown to give rise to an increase in both adhesive force magnitude and the range within it acts at the approach of cantilever tip to the surface of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic samples. The maximum of both adhesive force and their range, up to 150 nm, took place in case of retract of cantilever tip from sample surface. Force curves are steeper, which related with the formation of nanobubbles on the surfaces of samples under study arising the longrange hydrophobic force of capillary origin. Dibuthyldixanthogen exhibited highly-active reagent properties inducing the formation of nanoscale gas structures on both hydrophobic and, in less extent, hydrophilic surfaces

This paper addresses the Adhesion of mica surface employing Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) as a surface force apparatus. AFM is commonly used for atomic and nano-scale surface measurements. Based on the relations between cantilever responses and tip–sample interaction, methods for quantitative evaluation of a sample's mechanical parameters are described and issues concerning the use of AFM are discussed. The measurement of the Force-Distance curve was performed implementing Atomic Force Spectroscopy (AFS). During these measurements, the static deflection of the cantilever is monitored as a function of piezoelectric element displacement. The recorded plot is then used to quantitatively measure the mechanical properties like adhesion and elastic modulus. Forces were measured by multiplying the distance by force constant of the cantilever thorough Hook's law. It was necessary to calibrate the force constant of the cantilever to perform a precise force measurement. Force-Distance curves were obtained in three different points on the surface of mica and Distant Dependant Measurement (DDM) was conducted 10 times per each point by 1.5s interval. Adhesion force was then calculated in every single curve and the final data was the mean of thirty different curves.

Ionic liquids have become of significant relevance in chemistry, as they can serve as environmentally-friendly solvents, electrolytes, and lubricants with bespoke properties. In particular for electrochemical applications, an understanding of the interface structure between the ionic liquid and an electrified interface is needed to model and optimize the reactions taking place on the solid surface. As with ionic liquids, the interplay between electrostatic forces and steric effects leads to an intrinsic heterogeneity, as the structure of the ionic liquid above an electrified interface cannot be described by the classical electrical double layer model. Instead, a layered solvation layer is present with a structure that depends on the material combination of the ionic liquid and substrate. In order to experimentally monitor this structure, atomic force spectroscopy (AFS) has become the method of choice. By measuring the force acting on a sharp microfabricated tip while approaching the surface in an ionic liquid, it has become possible to map the solvation layers with sub-nanometer resolution. In this review, we provide an overview of the AFS studies on ionic liquids published in recent years that illustrate how the interface is formed and how it can be modified by applying electrical potential or by adding impurities and solvents.
