Exploring nanoscale hydrophobic hydration
Abstract
In this lecture, aspects of the hydration of hydrophobic interfaces that are emergent nanoscale properties of the interface chemical structure are discussed. General results inferred from systematic computational studies are emphasized, with a central theme focusing on the separate roles of surface topography and surface chemistry. The roles of surface curvature, polarity, and chemical heterogeneity, as well as the important role of
