Hydrophobic and ionic interactions in nanosized water droplets.
A number of situations such as protein folding in confined spaces, lubrication in tight spaces, and chemical reactions in confined spaces require an understanding of water-mediated interactions. As an illustration of the profound effects of confinement on hydrophobic and ionic interactions, we investigate the solvation of methane and methane decorated with charges in spherically confined water ...
متن کاملWater-mediated interactions between hydrophobic and ionic species in cylindrical nanopores.
We use Metropolis Monte Carlo and umbrella sampling to calculate the free energies of interaction of two methane molecules and their charged derivatives in cylindrical water-filled pores. Confinement strongly alters the interactions between the nonpolar solutes and completely eliminates the solvent separated minimum (SSM) that is seen in bulk water. The free energy profiles show that the methan...
متن کاملThe interfacial structure of water droplets in a hydrophobic liquid
Nanoscopic and microscopic water droplets and ice crystals embedded in liquid hydrophobic surroundings are key components of aerosols, rocks, oil fields and the human body. The chemical properties of such droplets critically depend on the interfacial structure of the water droplet. Here we report the surface structure of 200 nm-sized water droplets in mixtures of hydrophobic oils and surfactant...
متن کاملAnimation of Water Droplets on a Hydrophobic Windshield
Animation of water drops on a windshield is used as a special effect in advanced driving games and simulators. Existing water droplet animation methods trace the trajectories of the droplets on the glass taking into account the hydrophilic or water-attracting nature of the glass material. Meanwhile, in the automobile industry, usage of hydrophobic glass windshields has recently been a common so...
متن کاملEvaporation-triggered wetting transition for water droplets upon hydrophobic microstructures.
When placed on rough hydrophobic surfaces, water droplets of diameter larger than a few millimeters can easily form pearls, as they are in the Cassie-Baxter state with air pockets trapped underneath the droplet. Intriguingly, a natural evaporating process can drive such a Fakir drop into a completely wetting (Wenzel) state. Our microscopic observations with simultaneous side and bottom views of...
