Main Results:

  • Long-range interactions are dominated by double-layer forces, transitioning to osmotic repulsion and viscoelasticity upon contact.
  • Increased ionic strength reduces surface potentials and enhances adhesion.
  • Polyelectrolytes induce strong steric repulsion at high coverage, dependent on probe velocity, and cause polymer bridging at low coverage.

Conclusions:

  • Cellulose surface interactions in water are multifactorial, involving electrostatic, osmotic, and viscoelastic contributions.
  • Ionic strength and polyelectrolyte adsorption significantly modify interaction profiles, impacting adhesion and repulsion.
  • The findings provide insights into controlling cellulose assembly and performance in aqueous systems.
