Adsorption of Water on Two-Dimensional Crystals: Water/Graphene and Water/Silicatene

Inorganics, 2016
The adsorption of water on solid surfaces is a scientific evergreen which again recently prompted considerable attention in the materials, nano-, and surface science communities, respectively, due to conflicting evidence presented in the most highly ...

Different assembly of type IV collagen on hydrophilic and hydrophobic substrata alters endothelial cells interaction [PDF]

European Cells & Materials, 2010
Considering the structural role of type IV collagen (Col IV) in the assembly of the basement membrane (BM) and the perspective of mimicking its organization for vascular tissue engineering purposes, we studied the adsorption pattern of this protein on ...

Molecular Recognition by Pillar[5]arenes: Evidence for Simultaneous Electrostatic and Hydrophobic Interactions

Pharmaceutics, 2021
The formation of inclusion complexes between alkylsulfonate guests and a cationic pillar[5]arene receptor in water was investigated by NMR and ITC techniques. The results show the formation of host-guest complexes stabilized by electrostatic interactions

Hydrophobically-Modified PEG Hydrogels with Controllable Hydrophilic/Hydrophobic Balance [PDF]

Polymers, 2021
This work reports on a novel method to synthesize hydrophobically-modified hydrogels by curing epoxy monomers with amines. The resulting networks contain hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) segments, poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) segments, and C18 alkyl segments.

Statistics of a hydrophobic chain near a hydrophobic boundary

, 2002
We study the behaviour of a hydrophobic chain near a hydrophobic boundary in two dimensions, using the decorated lattice model of Berkema and Widom [G.T. Barkema and B. Widom, J. Chem. Phys.

Consistent treatment of hydrophobicity in protein lattice models accounts for cold denaturation

, 2015
The hydrophobic effect stabilizes the native structure of proteins by minimizing the unfavourable interactions between hydrophobic residues and water through the formation of a hydrophobic core. Here we include the entropic and enthalpic contributions of
