Reduced water density at hydrophobic surfaces: effect of dissolved gases.
Here, direct noninvasive neutron reflectivity measurements reveal the presence of a reduced (deuterated) water density region, with a sigmoidal density profile at the hydrophobic silane-water interface that depends on the type and concentration of dissolved gases in the water. Removal of dissolved gases decreases the width of the reduced water density region, and their reintroduction leads to i...
متن کاملViscosity-dependent liquid slip at molecularly smooth hydrophobic surfaces.
Colloidal probe atomic force microscopy is used to study the slip behavior of 18 Newtonian liquids from two homologous series, the n-alkanes and n-alcohols, at molecularly smooth hydrophobic n-hexadecyltrichlorosilane coated surfaces. We find that the slip behavior is governed by the bulk viscosity eta of the liquid, specifically, the slip length b approximately etax with x approximately 0.33. ...
متن کاملAqueous solvation of charge at hydrophobic liquid surfaces
The solvation of charge at the interface between an aqueous phase and hydrophobic medium is a key question in the mechanism of a wide range of biomolecular processes. These studies report the direct measurement of the molecular properties of water surrounding an isolated charge at an oil/water interface, and show how the solvating water structure changes with progressive charge build-up. At tra...
متن کاملWater at hydrophobic surfaces: when weaker is better.
The upsurge of interest in the nature of water adjacent to hydrophobic liquids is due in part to the growing appreciation for its unique characteristics for supporting chemical synthesis, nanoparticle assembly, oil remediation, and a host of other chemical separation processes.1,2 The important characteristics of these interfaces that lend themselves to these applicationssmolecular orientation,...
متن کاملWater at hydrophobic surfaces: weak hydrogen bonding and strong orientation effects.
Vibrational studies that selectively probe molecular structure at CCl4/H2O and hydrocarbon/H2O interfaces show that the hydrogen bonding between adjacent water molecules at these interfaces is weak, in contrast to generally accepted models of water next to fluid hydrophobic surfaces that suggest strong hydrogen bonding. However, interactions between these water molecules and the organic phase r...
