Abstract
Publisher Summary The interferometric surface forces apparatus (SFA) has played a major role in the discovery and experimental investigation of a variety of surface forces since the early seventies. Considerable development of the basic technique has occurred since then, and this has opened new perspectives in studying matter in confinement. This chapter reviews the main development milestones of the SFA and some of the most important experimental achievements in studying monolayers at interfaces with the SFA. It describes the function of the basic SFA. The chapter describes the monolayer properties probed by surface forces measurements.
