Bond rupture force measurement by means of a quartz resonator

Journal of Structural Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Methods to measure the bond rupture force are considered. It is proposed to use a quartz resonator as an active element rather than simply a sensor. When the surface oscillation amplitude of an AT quartz resonator increases smoothly (rupture event scanning), a particle attached to the quartz surface is removed by inertial forces, and from their values it is easy to obtain the bond dissociation value. This procedure provides reliable measurements of the rupture force of about 10 pN. As the atomic force microscopy method, the rupture event scanning does not apply electromagnetic radiation, but has simpler instrumental set-up. The scanning requires minimum sample preparation, can be performed in various media (vacuum, air, liquid), and takes only a few minutes.
