For several centuries fluid dynamics studies have relied upon the assumption that when a
liquid flows over a solid surface, the liquid molecules adjacent to the solid are stationary …

We present a review of experimental, theoretical, and molecular simulation studies of
confinement effects on freezing and melting. We consider both simple and more complex …

A general introduction to surface and interfacial forces, perfectly combining theoretical
concepts, experimental techniques and practical applications. In this completely updated …

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

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 …

Many surfaces reversibly change their structure and interfacial energy upon being in contact
with a liquid. Such surfaces adapt to a specific liquid. We propose the first order kinetic …

Capillary condensation is the first-order vapor-to-liquid phase transition taking place in
confined geometries. Such heterogeneous nucleation has been well described by …

Conspectus The surface of 2D materials can spontaneously adsorb and react with
molecules in the environment during their processing and storage. This effect, while having …

Muscovite mica is an important mineral that has become a standard substrate, due to its
easy cleavage along the {001} planes, revealing a very flat surface that is compatible with …

We report the viscoelasticity of the thin film of aqueous NaCl solution confined between mica
surfaces measured by shear resonance apparatus. The observed shear resonance curves …
