PROBING VISCOELASTIC PROFILE OF MOLECULAR LAYERS ON SOLID-LIQUID INTERFACES

The acoustic responses of molecular films with continuous viscoelastic profiles adsorbed on solid-liquid interfaces probed by a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) are analyzed using a continuum mechanics model.The results show that the changes of resonantfrequency shift and the dissipation factor of a QCM are determined by not only the adsorbed mass of molecules but also the viscoelastic profile of the adsorbed films.With the same amount of absorbed molecules,the resonant frequency shift and the dissipation factor change vary approximately linearly with the width of the film-solution interface in the profile.Thus QCM can be used as a very simple technique for characterizing viscoelastic properties of adsorbed films at nanometer scales.
