description

Abstract The aim of this study is to measure interaction forces between surfaces with high electric potentials in aqueous electrolyte solutions. Therefore the force between a gold sample and a gold sphere attached to the end of an atomic force microscope cantilever was measured. Gold sample and sphere were electrically connected and served as the working electrode. A potential was applied via a platinized platinum electrode. Experimental results are compared to forces approximated with the Poisson-Boltzmann theory.
