Adhesion loss and recovery in mfp-3 films on mica as measured in the surface forces apparatus.
(a) Symmetric mfp-3 films show their greatest interaction at pH 3 and diminish immediately with increasing pH. (b) Addition of 100 pmol of mfp-6 to the gap solution recovers nearly 200% adhesion after 1 min and 300% after a 60-min contact. Data from Yu et al. (31).
