Abstract Contact line pinning and the corresponding contact angle hysteresis (CAH) are important interfacial phenomena that occur in nature and play a significant role in many industrial processes, such as surface coating, ink-jet printing, and immersion lithography. Traditional optical methods face limitations due to the optical diffraction limit, making it difficult to directly measure flow and interface phenomena at the micro- or nanoscale. However, atomic force microscopy (AFM) offers a solution by enabling precise manipulation and force measurements at micro and nano scales. The AFM-based microrheometer, which is assembled with a long-needle probe, can be used More >
