Structure and dynamics of liquid water from ab initio simulations: adding Minnesota density functionals to Jacob's ladder

Ursula Röthlisberger, Justin Villard, Martin Peter Bircher

The accurate representation of the structural and dynamical properties of water is essential for simulating the unique behavior of this ubiquitous solvent. Here we assess the current status of describing liquid water using ab initio molecular dynamics, wit ...

Biomimetic Photodegradation of Glyphosate in Carborane-Functionalized Nanoconfined Spaces

Kyriakos Stylianou, Arunraj Chidambaram

The removal of organophosphorus (OP) herbicides fromwater hasbeen studied using adsorptive removal, chemical oxidation, electrooxidation,enzymatic degradation, and photodegradation. The OP herbicide glyphosate(GP) is one of the most used herbicides worldwi ...

Multi-scale approach for the prediction of atomic scale properties

Michele Ceriotti, Jigyasa Nigam, Andrea Grisafi

Electronic nearsightedness is one of the fundamental principles that governs the behavior of condensed matter and supports its description in terms of local entities such as chemical bonds. Locality also underlies the tremendous success of machine-learning ...

Design and Development of Injectable, Tough and Intrinsically-Adhesive Hydrogels for Biomedical Applications

Peyman Karami

Despite the development of hydrogels with a wide range of mechanical properties, insufficient adhesion between these materials and biological surfaces limits their use in the biomedical applications. Most recent advancements in highly adhesive hydrogel sys ...

A discussion on the paper "Role of porosity on the stiffness and stability of (001) surface of the nanogranular C-S-H gel"

Paul Bowen, Aslam Kunhi Mohamed

This paper is a discussion of a recent publication by Sekkal and coworkers, which investigated the elasticity, cohesion, and stability of the C-S-H (001) surface as a function of porosity using molecular dynamics simulations. In our discussion, we highligh ...

Adhesion and interfacial healing between supramolecular hybrid networks and glass substrates

Véronique Michaud, Federica Sordo

Adhesion towards glass and interfacial healing of partially supramolecular hybrid polymer networks featuring a range of H-bdnds content were investigated through two dedicated adhesion test methods. In a first series of tests, adhesion strength was measure ...

Linear scaling of precipitation-driven soil erosion in laboratory flumes

David Andrew Barry, Seifeddine Jomaa

The proportionality between raindrop-driven soil erosion delivery and area of soil exposed to raindrops under a uniform precipitation rate was investigated in terms of individual size classes using laboratory flume experiments. In particular, we examined t ...

Scaling laws for the mechanics of loose and cohesive granular materials based on Baxter's sticky hard spheres

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Henning Löwe

We have conducted discrete element simulations (PFC3D) of very loose, cohesive, granular assemblies with initial configurations which are drawn from Baxter's sticky hard sphere (SHS) ensemble. The SHS model is employed as a promising auxiliary means to ind ...

Origin of the Strong Interaction between Polar Molecules and Copper(II) Paddle-Wheels in Metal Organic Frameworks

Berend Smit, Daniele Ongari, Davide Tiana

The copper paddle-wheel is the building unit of many metal organic frameworks. Because of the ability of the copper cations to attract polar molecules, copper paddle-wheels are promising for carbon dioxide adsorption and separation. They have therefore bee ...

Foam on troubled water: Capillary induced finite-time arrest of sloshing waves

François Gallaire, Francesco Viola, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun, Benjamin Jérémy Dollet

Interfacial forces exceed gravitational forces on a scale small relative to the capillary length-two millimeters in the case of an air-water interface-and therefore dominate the physics of sub-millimetric systems. They are of paramount importance for vario ...

Estimating Cohesion in Small Groups Using Audio-Visual Nonverbal Behavior

Daniel Gatica-Perez

Cohesiveness in teams is an essential part of ensuring the smooth running of task-oriented groups. Research in social psychology and management has shown that good cohesion in groups can be correlated with team effectiveness or productivity, so automatical ...

Oxygen permeation, mechanical and structural properties of multilayer diffusion barrier coatings on polypropylene

Yves Leterrier, Judith Helen Waller

To improve temperature durability for autoclaving of SiOx diffusion barrier coatings on polypropylene, plasma polymerized hexamethyldisiloxane (pp-HMDSO) is applied by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition as interlayer material and compared with resu ...

Nanoscale triboactivity: The response of Mo–Se–C coatings to sliding

Silviu Cosmin Sandu

Mo–Se–C films were deposited by sputtering from a carbon target with pellets of MoSe2. In addition to the standard evaluation of their chemical composition, structure, morphology, hardness and cohesion/adhesion, the core objective of this paper was to anal ...

Wetting properties of flat-top periodically structured superhydrophobic surfaces

Laura Barbieri

In recent years, superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted a considerable amount of attention from the academic and industrial communities. This growing interest is mainly caused by the fundamental physico-chemical theoretical aspects that remain obscure an ...
