Central to the advancement of friction force microscopy (FFM) as a quantitative surface analysis technique is the establishment of clear relationships between the organization and composition of surfaces and data acquired from FFM. As a step toward this goal, FFM has been applied to measurement of the kinetics of a surface-confined reaction, namely, the esterification of alcohol-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) by trifluoroacetic anhydride. The kinetics were studied initially using contact angle goniometry. The data obtained were found to be well described by a Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The progress of the reaction was also monitored by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and comparative studies carried out using FFM. By using a simple numerical analysis of the FFM data, it has been possible to obtain quantitative information on surface composition. The resulting measurements of the fraction of derivatized molecules have been compared with compositional data obtained from XPS and contact angle goniometry, and found to be in excellent agreement, establishing unequivocally the capability of FFM as a quantitative surface analysis technique.
