We demonstrate that water is almost universally present on apparently dry self-assembled
monolayers, even on those considered almost hydrophobic by conventional methods such …

We have examined the nanoscale adsorption of molecular water under ambient conditions
onto a series of well-characterized functionalized surfaces produced by Cu (I)-catalyzed …

Conspectus The interface between water and other materials under ambient conditions is of
fundamental importance due to its relevance in daily life and a broad range of scientific …

The interaction of water vapor with hydrophobic surfaces is poorly understood. We utilize
graphene templating to preserve and visualize the microscopic structures of adsorbed water …

A combination of experiments and molecular dynamic (MD) simulations has been applied to
elucidate the nature of water on organic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) before and after …

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

We perform molecular dynamics simulations of water confined between nanoscale surfaces
(≈ 3.2× 3.2 nm2) with various patterns of hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity at T= 300 K …

Hydration layers are formed on hydrophilic crystalline surfaces immersed in water. Their
existence has also been predicted for hydrophobic surfaces, yet the experimental evidence …

The contact angle of water has been measured on a series of self-assembled monolayers
(SAM) on thermally evaporated and sputter coated silver surfaces. It is found that …

The structure of water at the interface with other materials is thought to determine their
wetting properties and underlies the vast array of phenomena known under the names of …
