Water in confined geometries has obvious relevance in biology, geology, and other areas
where the material properties are strongly dependent on the amount and behavior of water …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are a powerful tool for detailed studies of altered
properties of liquids in confinement, in particular, of changed structures and dynamics. They …

Protein functions require conformational motions. We show here that the dominant
conformational motions are slaved by the hydration shell and the bulk solvent. The protein …

Intercalated water in graphite oxide (GO) was investigated by using different techniques:
broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS)(10− 2− 109 Hz; 140− 300 K), differential scanning …

We show that the viscosity-related main (α) relaxation of confined water vanishes at a
temperature where the volume required for the cooperative α relaxation becomes larger …

We show that 2D H 2 NMR spectra enable valuable insights into the nature of an ice-water
equilibrium in nanoscale confinement, which extends over a broad temperature range. In …

Polymer inorganic nanosheet composites hold great promise in enhancing their physical
and mechanical properties by increasing the interfacial area. Herein, we demonstrate the …

A systematic investigation by dielectric spectroscopy of 18 different water-rich mixtures with
very different hydrophilic substances shows universal features for the water dynamics. The …

In this work we study the influence of adding nano-silica (SiO 2, Nyasil™) and aminopropyl (–
(CH 2) 3–NH 2,) functionalized silica nanoparticles (Stoga) during the synthesis of calcium …

This review gives an overview of current trends in the investigation of small guest molecules,
confined in neat and functionalized mesoporous silica materials by a combination of solid …
