Direct Measurement of Adhesion Force of Individual Aerosol Particles by Atomic Force Microscopy

A new method, namely, force–distance curve mapping, was developed to directly measure the adhesion force of individual aerosol particles by atomic force microscopy. The proposed method collects adhesion force from multiple points on a single particle. It also takes into account the spatial distribut...
