    Area of Science:

    • Surface Chemistry
    • Nanotechnology
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Direct force measurement between colloidal surfaces is vital for understanding surface chemistry and applications.
    • As particle size decreases to the nanoscale (<10 nm), surface forces become increasingly dominant and complex.
    • Existing techniques like AFM are limited to larger particles, hindering nanosize force measurements.

    Discussion:

    • A modified colloidal probe technique utilizing a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) is proposed to measure forces at the nanoscale.
    • Accurate determination of zero separation is critical for reliable force-distance curves with MWNT probes.
    • A systematic data collection approach for nanosize colloidal probes is presented.

    Key Insights:

    • The MWNT probe offers a novel solution for direct force measurements of nanoparticles.
