Before intermolecular forces like Van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds become relevant, the two surfaces should not have imperfections or contaminants on the order of more than a few nanometers.

Dipole-dipole interactions are not as strong as hydrogen bonds but still can significantly influence the resistance to flow of polar compounds. Stronger intermolecular forces lead to greater ...

Swedish company Polar Light Technologies, a developer of microLED, has announced a partnership with German-based Finetech, a supplier for sub-micron and high-accuracy die bonding solutions. The ...

Through computational simulations, we aim to unravel the intermolecular forces that control the interfacial behavior of these composites. This computational exploration governs the compatibility and ...

Hydrogen bonding occurs when the positively charged hydrogen atom of one water molecule is attracted to the negatively charged oxygen atom of another water molecule. This intermolecular force helps ...

The process of folding proteins into their tertiary structures is spontaneous and involves bonds and intermolecular forces to make the structure stable, which are described below.

There are three types of bonds in chemistry: ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. In this article, we will look at the differences between ionic and covalent bonds.

Dispersive interactions, also called London dispersion forces, are by far the most seen intermolecular interaction in GC. We remember from undergraduate general chemistry that they occur in nonpolar ...

A recent study by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences redefines how liquids maintain their contact with solid surfaces -also known as wettability - from an intermolecular force ...
