It is generally accepted that the metal–water interface tensions are quite high; thus, the metal
surfaces are usually regarded as hydrophilic. Using the molecular dynamics simulations, we …

A novel strategy to design a high-performance composite membrane for CO2 capture via
coating a thin layer of water-swellable polymers (WSPs) onto a porous support with enriched …

We study epitaxial graphene on the 6H-SiC (0001) surface under ambient conditions using
frequency-modulation atomic force microscopy. We observe large terraces with a self …

The wetting behavior of water on the solid surfaces is fundamental to various physical,
chemical and biological processes. Conventionally, the surface with charges or charge …

Chemical composition and shape determine the basic properties of any object. Commonly,
chemical synthesis and shaping follow each other in a sequence, although their …

By combining molecular dynamics simulations and quantum mechanics calculations, we
show the formation of a composite structure composed of embedded water molecules and …

Carbon-based materials date centuries back in their synthesis and usage and comprise a
whole realm of different crystallographic structures, chemical bonds and geometries, such as …

One‐dimensional silicone nanostructures, such as filaments, wires, and tubes, have
attracted significant attention, owing to their remarkable application capabilities in a large …

Neutron reflectometry data and modeling support the existence of a relatively thick,
continuous phase of water stemming from within an antifouling monoethylene glycol silane …

The connection between antifouling and surface hydration is a fascinating but daunting
question to answer. Herein, we use molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations to gain …
