Studies of Thin Liquid Films Confined between Hydrophobic Surfaces

Surface force measurements previously conducted with thiolated gold surfaces showed a decrease in excess film entropy (£GSf), suggesting that hydrophobic force originates from changes in the structure of the medium (water) confined between hydrophobic surfaces. As a follow-up to the previous study,...
