報(bào)告摘要：The physicochemical properties and functionalities of materials in various applications are mainly governed by their intermolecular and surface interaction characteristics. Over the past decades, there has been growing research interest in the quantitative characterization of these interactions, especially in soft materials (e.g., polymers, biopolymers) and engineering processes such as the stabilization and destabilization of emulsions (water-in-oil and oil-in-water), oil/water separation, bubble-bitumen flotation, water treatment, and challenges related to fouling and antifouling strategies. In this talk, I will discuss the development of the research field on intermolecular and surface forces. I will provide an introduction to the fundamental principles of these forces and the nanomechanical techniques commonly used for their study. I will then present recent advances in applying these advanced techniques to quantify intermolecular and surface interactions in bitumen production, wastewater treatment, fouling/antifouling phenomena, and the development of novel functional materials.
