Quasi-equilibrium AFM measurement of disjoining pressure in lubricant nano-films I : Fomblin Z03 on silica

We have identified conditions in which the atomic force microscope can be used to stretch a meniscus of a perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricant pinned between an AFM tip and a nanometer-thick PFPE film to obtain the disjoining pressure of the film. Under quasi-equilibrium conditions, the chemical pote...
