Surface Forces Apparatus Measurements of Interactions between Rough and Reactive Calcite Surfaces
Surface Forces Apparatus Measurements of Interactions between Rough and Reactive Calcite Surfaces is a scholarly work by Joanna Dziadkowiec and Ola Nilsen, published in 2018 in ''Langmuir''. The main subjects of the publication include calcite, crystallite, materials science, chemistry, mica, atomic force microscopy, carbonate, surface forces apparatus, mineralogy, composite material, surface roughness, surface finish, recrystallization, and gecko. The authors suggest that the repulsive mechanical effects related to nm-scale surface recrystallization of calcite in water could be partially responsible for the observed decrease of cohesion in calcitic rocks saturated with water.
