High-entropy ceramics: propelling applications through disorder

Cormac Toher, Corey Oses, Marco Esters +6

Disorder enhances desired properties, as well as creating new avenues for synthesizing materials. For instance, hardness and yield stress are improved by solid-solution strengtheni…

What drives adsorption of ions on surface of nanodiamonds in aqueous solutions?

Farshad Saberi-Movahed, Donald W Brenner

It is not yet clear what drives the adsorption of ions on detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs), which plays a critical role on the loading (unloading) of chemotherapeutic drugs on (from)…

Atomistic insights into hydrogen bonds of water around detonation nanodiamonds: effects of surface chemistry and dissolved ions

Farshad Saberi-Movahed, Donald W Brenner

Prior studies on the effects of surface chemistry of detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) on Hydrogen Bonds (HBs) of water have not unambiguously distinguished among three broad categori…

Tuning friction at material-nanoparticle-liquid interfaces with an external electric field

Biplav Acharya, Caitlin M. Seed, Donald W. Brenner +2

The use of electrophoretic forces to tune friction at material-nanoparticle-liquid interfaces with static or low frequency (0.6-50 mHz) electric fields is reported for the first ti…
