The interaction between a planar SiO2 surface and a Si3N4 probe of AFM was measured in aqueous solutions of cationic surfactant homologues CH3(CH2)n-1 N(CH3)3Br (n=12∼18). The potential profiles changed with the surfactant concentrations. In the high concentration region, the mechanical strength of the adsorbed layer was examined by applying an excess pressure from the probe.
