The book provides a comprehensive and easily accessible
reference source covering all important aspects of particle
adhesion and removal. The core objective is to cover both
fundamental and applied aspects of particle adhesion and removal
with emphasis on recent developments.
Among the topics to be covered include:
1. Fundamentals of surface forces in particle adhesion and
removal.
2. Mechanisms of particle adhesion and removal.
3. Experimental methods (e.g. AFM, SFA,SFM,IFM, etc.) to
understand particle-particle and particle-substrate
interactions.
4. Mechanics of adhesion of micro- and nanoscale
particles.
5. Various factors affecting particle adhesion to a variety of
substrates.
6. Surface modification techniques to modulate particle
adhesion.
7. Various cleaning methods (both wet & dry) for particle
removal.
8. Relevance of particle adhesion in a host of technologies ranging
from simple to ultra-sophisticated.
