Hydrophobic nanoconfinement suppresses fluctuations in supercooled water.
We perform very efficient Monte Carlo simulations to study the phase diagram of a water monolayer confined in a fixed disordered matrix of hydrophobic nanoparticles between two hydrophobic plates. We consider different hydrophobic nanoparticle concentrations c. We adopt a coarse-grained model of water that, for c = 0, displays a first-order liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) line with negati...
متن کاملWater entry of small hydrophobic spheres
We present the results of a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the normal impact of hydrophobic spheres on a water surface. Particular attention is given to characterizing the shape of the resulting air cavity in the low Bond number limit, where cavity collapse is driven principally by surface tension rather than gravity. A parameter study reveals the dependence of the cavit...
متن کاملPreparation and characterization of ultra- hydrophobic calcium carbonate nanoparticles
Anionic surfactants based on fatty acids are usually used to modify the particle surface properties of CaCO 3 with the aim to enhance its dispersion and compatibility with polymer matrices. In this study sodium oleate was used for the preparation of ultrahydrophobic CaCO 3 nanoparticles using a wet carbonation route. The effect of sodium oleate on the characteristics, particle size, morphology,...
متن کاملEvaporation rate of water in hydrophobic confinement.
The drying of hydrophobic cavities is believed to play an important role in biophysical phenomena such as the folding of globular proteins, the opening and closing of ligand-gated ion channels, and ligand binding to hydrophobic pockets. We use forward flux sampling, a molecular simulation technique, to compute the rate of capillary evaporation of water confined between two hydrophobic surfaces ...
متن کاملWater adsorption in hydrophobic MOF channels.
We report an investigation of water adsorption in the hydrophobic metal-organic framework Al(OH)(1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate) by means of molecular simulation. We show how simple molecular models allow us to reproduce the experimental isotherm, and how grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations can help elucidate the question of the thermodynamic nature of the adsorption transition, which turns o...
