The hydration lubrication paradigm, whereby hydration layers are both strongly held by the
charges they surround, and so can support large pressures without being squeezed out, and …

Icephobic surfaces, used as passive anti-icing materials, are in high demand due to the
costs, damage, and loss of equipment and lives related to ice formation on outdoor surfaces …

Ice formation can have catastrophic consequences for human activity on the ground and in
the air. Here we investigate water freezing delays on untreated and coated surfaces ranging …

Over recent years the Surface Force Apparatus (SFA) has been used to carry out model
experiments revealing structural and dynamic properties of ionic liquids confined to thin …

The lubrication modification of biomedical devices significantly enhances the functionality of
implanted interventional medical devices, thereby providing additional benefits for patients …

We report an accurate determination of the hydrodynamic boundary condition of simple
liquids flowing on smooth hydrophobic surfaces using a dynamic surface force apparatus …

During the past years, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has matured to an indispensable tool
to characterize nanomaterials in colloid and interface science. For imaging, a sharp probe …

The dynamics of water confined in two different types of reverse micelles are studied using
ultrafast infrared pump− probe spectroscopy of the hydroxyl OD stretch of HOD in H2O …

Over the last half-century, direct measurements of surface forces have been instrumental in
the exploration of a multitude of phenomena in liquid, soft, and biological matter …

Pressure-driven water flow through carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is examined using molecular
dynamics simulation. The results are compared to reported experimental flow rate …
