Abstract
⺠Gas-filled bubbles with nanosize dimensions were observed on hydrophobic surfaces with an AFM. ⺠The instability to image nanobubbles can be attributed to the surface charge and low roughness of OTS surface. ⺠Applying negative ions with the anti-static gun reduce the diameter of the nanobubbles in DI water on PS surface. ⺠The electrons are captured by the water molecules while the oxygen molecules are released to the air. ⺠Applied electric field to the PS surface, increased the size of nanobubbles while the total count decreased.
