Currently, nanotechnology-based products are gaining tremendous interest in the
development of nanocarriers for drug delivery and nano-diagnostic devices. Nanodroplets …

Derivations of Young's equation have traditionally neglected the Laplace pressure and its
influence on the curvature of sessile droplets under thermodynamic equilibrium. Omission of …

In this work, we investigate the microscopic mechanism of ion rejection phenomena during
the freezing of aqueous NaCl solutions through molecular dynamics simulations. It is found …

It is significant to inhibit the formation of ice on solid surface under some occasions in
industry. The origin of ice formation on solid surface is the heterogeneous ice nucleation …

Heterogeneous ice nucleation (HIN) is strongly related to the dynamics of hydrogen bonds
in water at an interface. In this work, we investigate the microscopic kinetics of HIN through …

We reported molecular simulations of the interactions among water, an epoxy prepolymer
diglycidic ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA), and a hardener isophorone diamine (IPDA) on an …

Heterogeneous ice nucleation (HIN) of seawater on solid surfaces with varying wettability is
a crucial stage in ice formation, which is common in nature and industrial applications …

In the study, the effect of submillimeter groove width and impact velocity on the
hydrophobicity of a textured substrate is investigated via three-dimensional direct numerical …

Fast transport of water inside carbon nanostructures, such as carbon nanotubes and
graphene-based nanomaterials, has addressed persistent challenges in nanofluidics …

A sessile droplet or a film usually moves from hotter regions to colder regions, due to
variations in interfacial tension. This, known as the so-called Marangoni effect, is true for …
