Effect of ion hydration on the first-order transition in the sequential wetting of hexane on brine
, 2003 In recent experiments, a sequence of changes in the wetting state (`wetting transitions') has been observed upon increasing the temperature in systems consisting of pentane on pure water and of hexane on brine. This sequence of two transitions is brought

Micelle Formation and the Hydrophobic Effect [PDF]
, 2004 The tendency of amphiphilic molecules to form micelles in aqueous solution is a consequence of the hydrophobic effect. The fundamental difference between micelle assembly and macroscopic phase separation is the stoichiometric constraint that frustrates ...

Generation of Motion of Drops with Interfacial Contact
, 2015 A liquid drop moves on a solid surface if it is subjected to a gradient of wettability or temperature. However, the pinning defects on the surface manifested in terms of a wetting hysteresis, or first-order nonlinear friction, limit the motion in the ...

Effects of lengthscales and attractions on the collapse of hydrophobic polymers in water
, 2007 We present results from extensive molecular dynamics simulations of collapse transitions of hydrophobic polymers in explicit water focused on understanding effects of lengthscale of the hydrophobic surface and of attractive interactions on folding ...
