Experimental study demonstrates interfacial force behavior between fluorocarbon surfaces in water and nonpolar liquids, highlighting medium-dependent surface interactions.

Key Points

To measure and characterize direct surface forces operating between plasma-deposited fluorocarbon layers on mica in aqueous and nonpolar environments.
Modified freshly cleaved mica substrates via plasma treatment to generate thin fluorocarbon surface films.
Measured normal interaction forces between the modified surfaces immersed in water and in a nonpolar liquid medium.
Fluorocarbon-coated mica surfaces exhibit medium-dependent surface forces that differ substantially between polar water and nonpolar liquid phases.
Plasma deposition successfully alters mica surface energy, governing intermolecular attraction and adhesion across liquid interfaces.
