Roughness significantly reduces adhesion forces in granular media. This study measured adhesion between nanorough Pyrex surfaces in n-dodecane, finding forces depend on maximal load, not contact time.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Surface Science
  • Physics of Granular Media

Background:

  • Cohesion effects are critical in powders and granular materials.
  • Surface roughness plays a significant role in modulating these cohesion effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify adhesion forces between nanorough Pyrex surfaces.
  • To investigate the influence of surface roughness on adhesion in a liquid medium.
  • To explore the dependence of adhesion on maximal applied load and contact time.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a surface force apparatus to measure adhesion forces.
  • Employed nanometric roughness on Pyrex surfaces.
  • Conducted experiments with surfaces immersed in liquid n-dodecane.

Main Results:

  • Measured adhesion forces were significantly lower than predicted for smooth surfaces.
  • Adhesion force demonstrated dependence on the maximal applied load.
  • Adhesion force was independent of the duration of surface contact.

Conclusions:

  • Nanometric surface roughness substantially reduces adhesion in granular media.
  • A model of plastic deformation of asperities under Hertz contact accurately predicts experimental data.
  • Understanding roughness-dependent adhesion is key for controlling granular material behavior.
