Experiments and theory have revealed versatile possible phases for adsorbed confined water on two-dimensional solid surfaces, which are closely related to the aspects of various phenomena in physics, chemistry, biology, tribology. In this review, we summarize our recent works showing that different with disordered ordered structures can greatly affect surface wetting behavior, dielectric proper...

the molecular geometry of complex of adenine with 8 water molecules was calculated with hartree-fock (hf). the standard 6-31g(d) basis set has been employed. the existence of c-h…o hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and the hydrophobic part of nucleobase is stablished. we optimized structures and computed interaction energies of all complexes of adenine with water molecules step by step...

the glass transition temperature (tg) and the melting temperature (tm) of gelatin at water contents between 7 and 14% were measured using differential scanning calorimetry.  the plasticisation of the polymer by water led to a decrease in tg and tm. the tg of partially crystalline gelatin was higher than that of the amorphous one obtained by quenching from the melt. the enthalpy relaxation occur...

We combine experiments and simulations to study the adsorption of water in several UiO-66 frameworks (ideal defect-containing structures). propose a new set charges for that accurately provides water-structure interaction at molecular level. The is suitable predicting ideal structure, providing first time, good agreement between experimental calculated isotherms. proposed procedure tuning point...
