Interfaces between organic thin films and inorganic substrates are of particular interest because a variety of effects such as phase transitions, nucleation on distinct terraces and facets and ...

For a car to accelerate there has to be friction between the tire and the surface of the road. The amount of friction generated depends on numerous factors, including the minute intermolecular forces ...

Proteins are made of amino acid chains, or polypeptides. Amino acids have a basic backbone made of an amino group and a carboxyl group, and differ in their side-chains. These polypeptide chains of ...

The alkanes are a homologous series with a structure based on a carbon chain - each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds The intermolecular forces vary between molecules, so different organic ...

Fundamental studies concerning partial-supplying high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were conducted to apply it to the analysis of intermolecular interactions. Because it is a novel ...

The actin and myosin complex (actomyosin) generates contraction force of a muscle utilizing the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis reaction. Many attempts have thus been made to explain the ...
