Unexpected Hydrophobicity on Self-Assembled Monolayers Terminated with Two Hydrophilic Hydroxyl Groups
Dangxin Mao, Xian Wang, Yuanyan Wu +3
Current major approaches to access surface hydrophobicity include directly introducing hydrophobic nonpolar groups/molecules into surface or elaborately fabricating surface roughne…
Hydrogen Polarity of Interfacial Water Regulates Heterogeneous Ice Nucleation
Mingzhe Shao, Chuanbiao Zhang, Conghai Qi +4
Using all-atomic molecular dynamics(MD) simulations, we show that various substrates could induce interfacial water (IW) to form the same ice-like oxygen lattice but different hydr…
Molecular-Scale Hydrophilicity Induced by Solute: Molecular-thick Charged Pancakes of Aqueous Salt Solution on Hydrophobic Carbon-based Surfaces
Guosheng Shi, Yue Shen, Jian Liu +5
We directly observed molecular-thick aqueous salt-solution pancakes on a hydrophobic graphite surface under ambient conditions employing atomic force microscopy. This observation i…
Mass transportation of thermally driven nanotube nanomotors with defects
Jige Chen, Yi Gao, Chunlei Wang +3
Thermally driven nanotube nanomotors provide linear mass transportation controlled by a temperature gradient. However, the underlying mechanism is still unclear where the mass tran…
Galilean Invariant Fluid-Solid Interfacial Dynamics in Lattice Boltzmann Simulations
Binghai Wen, Chaoying Zhang, Yusong Tu +2
Galilean invariance is a fundamental property; however, although the lattice Boltzmann equation itself is Galilean invariant, this property is usually not taken into account in the…
