The mechanical properties of polymer gels devote to emerging devices and machines in
fields such as biomedical engineering, flexible bioelectronics, biomimetic actuators, and …

On the basis of many literature measurements, a critical overview is given on essential
noncovalent interactions in synthetic supramolecular complexes, accompanied by analyses …

Quantitative prediction of physical properties of liquids is important for many applications.
Computational methods based on either explicit or implicit solvent models can be used to …

When Szent-Györgyi called water the “matrix of life”, 1 he was echoing an old sentiment.
Paracelsus in the 16th century said that “water was the matrix of the world and of all its …

Forces to reckon with: Supramolecular complexes, such as the one shown, are normally
based on a combination of different interactions such as ion pairing, hydrogen bonds, and …

Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to study the transport of water and ions
through pores created on the basal plane of one graphene sheet (GS). Graphene pore …

The maturation of nanotechnology has revealed it to be a unique and distinct discipline
rather than a specialization within a larger field. Its textbook cannot afford to be a chemistry …

Water molecules confined to nonpolar pores and cavities of nanoscopic dimensions exhibit
highly unusual properties. Water filling is strongly cooperative, with the possible coexistence …

The aversion of hydrophobic solutes for water drives diverse interactions and assemblies
across materials science, biology, and beyond. Here, we review the theoretical …

Hydrophobicity manifests itself differently on large and small length scales. This review
focuses on large-length-scale hydrophobicity, particularly on dewetting at single …
