Abstract in another language
Restructured ordering of solvent molecules at the surfaces of nanoparticles has an influence on the entire panoply of solvent–particle interactions during, for example, particle formation and growth, adhesion forces in industrial filtration, and activities of nanoparticle–enzyme complexes. This article gives an overview of the advances made in solvent–nanoparticle interface research in recent years: from description of the structure of bulk solids and liquids via macroscopic planar surfaces, to the detection of nanoscopic restructuring effects. Water–nanoparticle interfaces are given specific attention to illustrate and highlight their similarity to biological systems.
