Popis: We present a methodology that allows one to identify the interfacial properties as a function of confinement. Rheology, viscosity as well as elasticity, in both directions (normal and tangential), and static and dynamic forces can be simultaneously measured in situ for the same set of surfaces/liquid as the confinement increases, from bulk (few μm) to highly confined (down to few 0.1 nm) regimes. The tribological behaviour of confined layers for steady-state and/or transient conditions can also be addressed.
