This review addresses experimental findings obtained with direct force measurements
between two similar or dissimilar solid surfaces in aqueous electrolyte solutions …

Reactions at solid–water interfaces play a foundational role in water treatment systems,
catalysis, and chemical separations, and in predicting chemical fate and transport in the …

The electric double layer governs the processes of all charged surfaces in aqueous
solutions; however, elucidating the structure of the water molecules is challenging for even …

Oriented attachment (OA) occurs when nanoparticles in solution align their crystallographic
axes prior to colliding and subsequently fuse into single crystals. Traditional colloidal …

Forces between hydrophilic surfaces mediated by water are important in various systems
from lipid membranes and solid surfaces to colloids and macromolecules, first discovered as …

The balance between hydration and Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) forces
at solid–liquid interfaces controls many processes, such as colloidal stability, wetting …

Colloidal interactions between clay nanoparticles have been studied extensively because of
their strong influence on the hydrology and mechanics of many soils and sedimentary …
