Abstract

To address the concern that a material functionalized to reject dissolved ions may give rise to a highly viscous aqueous interphase within nanometers of its surface, we conducted and interpreted Interfacial Force Microscope measurements of the dissipative forces that resist motion of a tip parallel to a sample, in water. The results are consistent with earlier measurements where the tip approached the sample. They confirm that near hydrophilically functionalized surfaces, interphase viscosities more than a million times that of bulk water can be expected.
