These techniques include atomic force microscopy (AFM), total internal reflection microscopy (TIRM), optical tweezers (OT), and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). The examples of each measuring technique were categorized based on the types of polymer coatings and their associated factors. Additionally, this review demonstrates experimental measurements of interactions involving biological objects. By understanding the fundamental particle-particle and particle-surface interactions, researchers can gain valuable insights to guide the design and functional optimization of polymer-based materials and systems across various applications.
