About Me
Expertise
Research
With my expertise in physical chemistry at surface and interfaces:
1. Interfacial physics
Van der Waals forces, capillary forces, critical Casimir forces, stick-slip behaviour.
2. Surface modification
Surface chemical modification using wet-chemistry methods, plasma treatment, and transfer method.
3. Surface & interface characterizations and direct force measurement using Atom Force Microscopy (AFM)
- Surface morphology characterization of various materials, including graphene, hydrogel, polyelectrolyte thin films, membranes, nanoparticles.
- Interfacial adhesion force measurements.
- Nano-friction measurements (Lubrications and fundamentals of friction) using Lateral mode AFM.
- Long-range interfacial force (double layer forces, critical Casimir forces) measurements using colloidal probe AFM.
- Nanoindentation measurement on the soft matter using AFM.
- Surface composition analysis based on AFM phase image.
6. Material analysis based on Raman spectroscopy
Crystallization of thermoplastics polymers, structure analysis of carbon-based materials
7. Surface chemical analysis using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
my research interest is to tune the interfacial interaction using surface physical chemical approaches. This covers a veriety of scientific topics and applications:
- eletrostatic adhesion
- metal polymer interaction, including reducing adhesion e.g. for releasing of polymer part from the metallic mold. and improve adhesion e.g. metal polymer joints.
- fiber polymer interaction by modification of fiber and tuning the polymer interphase
- Tunable interaction in liquid conditions, for biomechanical purposes and membrance sciences.
