Abstract
A new surface force apparatus is described which enables simultaneous measurement of the interaction forces between adsorbed polymer layers as well as their surface structure by neutron reflectometry. The apparatus utilises two optically flat quartz plates that are brought together by applying a known external force. Surface force and structural profiles have been obtained for polystyrene adsorbed on quartz from cyclohexane, i.e. a poor solvent.
