In this work we present the results of a functional properties assessment via Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)-based surface morphology, surface roughness, nano-scratch tests and adhesion force maps of TiZr-based nanotubular structures. The nanostructures have been electrochemically prepared in a glycerin + 15 vol.% H2O + 0.2 M NH4F electrolyte. The AFM topography images confirmed the successful preparation of the nanotubular coatings. The Root Mean Square (RMS) and average (Ra) roughness parameters increased after anodizing, while the mean adhesion force value decreased. The prepared nanocoatings exhibited a smaller mean scratch hardness value compared to the un-coated TiZr. However, the mean hardness (H) values of the coatings highlight their potential in having reliable mechanical resistances, which along with the significant increase of the surface roughness parameters, which could help in improving the osseointegration, and also with the important decrease of the mean adhesion force, which could lead to a reduction in bacterial adhesion, are providing the nanostructures with a great potential to be used as a better alternative for Ti implants in dentistry.

ABSTRACTUnderstanding particle adhesion is vital to any industry where particulate systems are involved. There are multiple factors that affect the strength of the adhesion force, including the physical properties of the interacting materials and the system conditions. Surface roughness on the particles and the surfaces to which they adhere, including roughness at the nanoscale, is critically important to the adhesion force. The focus of this work is on the capillary force that dominates the adhesion whenever condensed moisture is present. Theoretical capillary forces were calculated for smooth particles adhered to smooth and rough surfaces. Simulations of the classical centrifuge technique used to describe particle adhesion to surfaces were performed based on these forces. A model was developed to describe the adhesion of the particles to the rough surface in terms of the adhesion to a smooth surface and an ‘effective’ contact angle distribution.

Particle detachment induced by a rotating wheel was investigated theoretically and experimentally. The developed theoretical models were used to reveal how the particle detaches from a wheel surface to the surrounding air. The corresponding experiments were carried out to validate proposed models. Two groups of spherical particles were considered, i.e. silicon dioxide and aluminium oxide particles. Different forces and force moments acting on individual particles were analysed. The criteria for the rolling detachment of particles were considered. The detachment diameters under various conditions were calculated. The results show that the particle detachment was dominated by the removal and resistant forces acting on particles, including the gravity force, adhesion force, hydrodynamic force and centrifugal force. Different relevant parameters can affect particle detachment through these forces, including surface roughness, wheel speed, particle size and properties. A higher wheel speed, larger particle sizes and higher wheel surface roughness were shown to have a conducive influence on particle detachment. The resistant and removal force moments could be affected by the particle properties at the same time; therefore, the detachment diameters of the aluminium oxide particles are similar to those of silicon dioxide. This study can contribute towards the estimation of particle emissions from vehicles.

This study attempts to address the interpretation of atomic force microscopy (AFM) adhesion force measurements conducted on the heterogeneous rough surface of wood and natural fibre materials. The influences of wood surface roughness, tip geometry and wear on the adhesion force distribution are examined by cyclic measurements conducted on wood surface under dry inert conditions. It was found that both the variation of tip and surface roughness of wood can widen the distribution of adhesion forces, which are essential for data interpretation. When a common Si AFM tip with nanometre size is used, the influence of tip wear can be significant. Therefore, control experiments should take the sequence of measurements into consideration, e.g. repeated experiments with used tip. In comparison, colloidal tips provide highly reproducible results. Similar average values but different distributions are shown for the adhesion measured on two major components of wood surface (cell wall and lumen). Evidence supports the hypothesis that the difference of the adhesion force distribution on these two locations was mainly induced by their surface roughness.

ABSTRACTThe adhesion properties were evaluated for untreated and modified cellulose (cellophane) films. Several functional groups were introduced on the film surfaces by plasma based treatments. All the films were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). AFM was employed to study the adhesion properties using both standard silicon nitride tips as well as self-assembled monolayer (SAM) modified gold coated tips containing a variety of specific functional groups. The acetone extracted cellulose films, which are rich in –OH groups, were used as substrates. The adhesion force detected with –COOH terminated AFM tips (∼ 34.8 nN) was much larger than that with –CH3 terminated AFM tips (∼16.7 nN), which was attributed to the hydrogen bonding between –COOH and –OH functional groups. The adhesion force of –NH2 terminated AFM tips on the acetone extracted cellulose film was higher at 42.92 nN. However, after surface modification of the cellulose films with argon and oxygen based plasma treatments, the adhesion force were decreased to 17.4 and 19.4 nN respectively as a result of greatly enhanced surface roughness. Hydrazine plasma treatment also was used to introduce –NH2 groups on the film surfaces, and the strongest adhesion behavior was observed with AFM tips terminated with -COOH groups on the aminated film due to acid-base interaction. The argon and oxygen plasma treatment greatly increased the surface roughness, resulting in poor adhesion properties. Both surface roughness and chemical modification of the cellophane films affected the adhesion properties as measured by AFM force curves.

In the present work, rolling contact fatigue (RCF) tests in water were performed on AISI 440C stainless steels under different loading. Each test was interrupted at 3.6×104, 7.2×104, 1.44×105, 2.16×105, 2.88×105 and 2.88×105 rotating cycles and the wear track at different stages was observed by using a 3D laser confocal microscope. The wear loss at 2100 N was a significantly higher compared to 500 N or 1000 N. The contact surface roughness in samples tested at 2100 N increased during the rolling contact and severe adhesion wear was present at the entire surface. In case of 500 and 1000 N tests, the surface roughness remained low with mild adhesion wear occurring. It is concluded that adhesion force levels are higher under high load rolling contact. They greatly influence the surface conditions and cause high wear loss.
