“…Foil-to-foil capillary self-alignment is characterized by significantly longer assembly times with respect to foil-to-silicon/silicon-to-foil assembly [38]. Given the same assembly liquid (water), this can be explained by the lower surface energy of and consequent slower liquid spreading on native PEN foils relative to native silicon dioxide [39].…”

“…In all three cases close to the sample the oscillation is killed abruptly. We believe that this is due to the tip being captured by an adsorbed liquid layer ͑known to be present on some surfaces 14,24 ͒ when the amplitude becomes smaller than a critical value. 6 In general, the position of the point of switching between attractive and repulsive tapping shows hysteresis with respect to the scan direction ͑approach or retraction͒.…”

We present experimental and numerical results demonstrating the drastic influence of attractive forces on the behaviour of the atomic force microscope when operated in the resonant tapping tip mode in an ambient environment. It is often assumed that tapping is related to repulsive interaction. In contrast, we find that in general the attractive forces are the most dominant interaction in this mode of operation. We show that attractive forces in combination with the repulsive elastic type of forces cause points of instability in the parameter space constituted by: the cantilever swing amplitude, the frequency bias point, and the distance between the fixed end of the cantilever and the sample. These points of instability can result in disturbances during image acquisition on hard elastic surfaces.

“…This impairs access to specific binding sites and thereby impairs cell adhesion. Parylene-C is a notable [28]. Owing to low water and gas permeability, parylene-C has long been used to protect printed circuit boards.…”
