Abstract
Carbonous materials, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, have attracted tremendous attention in the fields of nanofluidics due to the slip at the interface between solid and liquid. The dependence of slip length for water on the types of supporting substrates and thickness of the carbonous layer, which is critical for applications such as sustainable cooling of electronic devices, remains unknown. In this paper, using colloidal probe atomic force microscopy, we measured the slip length ls of water on graphene supported by hydrophilic and hydrophobic substrates, i.e., SiO2 and octadecyltrimethoxysilane (OTS). The ls on single-layer graphene supported by SiO2 is found to be 1.6 ± 1.9 nm, and that of OTS is 8.5 ± 0.9 nm. When the thickness of few-layer graphene increases to 3-4 layers, both ls values gradually converge to the value of graphite (4.3 ± 3.5 nm). Such a thickness dependence is termed slip length translucency. Further, ls is found to decrease by about 70% when temperature increases from 300 K to 350 K for 2-layer graphene supported by SiO2. These observations are explained by analysis based on the Green-Kubo relation and McLachlan theory. Our results provide the first set of reference values for the slip length of water on supported few-layer graphene. They can not only serve as a direct experimental reference for solid-liquid interaction, but also provide a guideline for the design of nanofluidics-based devices, for example thermo-mechanical nanofluidic devices.

Abstract
Wettablity is one of the important characteristics defining a given surface. Here we show that the effective interface potential method of determining the wetting temperature, originally proposed by MacDowell and Müller for the surfaces exhibiting the first order wetting transition, can also be used to estimate the wetting temperature of the second order (continuous) wetting transition. Some selected other methods of determination of the wetting temperature are also discussed.

Abstract
In contrast to the wetting phenomenon of pure substance phase, we here concentrate on the wetting behavior of immiscible fluids with two components via numerical simulations. We investigate the energetic contribution, the wall energy and the surface excess energy, to the wetting behavior of liquid solutions varying with temperature. This investigation is in accordance with Cahn's wetting transition theory, where the surface composition plays a vital role. By analyzing the energetic contributions, we reveal two different physical mechanisms of complete wetting: (i) surface tension driven complete wetting, where the wetting microstructure is achieved via the outward spreading of the triple junction, and (ii) diffusion induced complete wetting, where the wetting film is achieved through a direct deposition of the solute on the substrate. The former one is consistent with the classic theory of Young's law, and the latter one is an alternative mechanism. To indicate the broad multiplicity of the microstructural arrangements, we take porous structures to exemplarily elucidate the formation of alternative perfect wetting structures. Differing from the wetting on a flat substrate, we show that the surface composition varying with temperature leads to a distinct wetting phenomenon in porous structures. The present findings provide an alternative interpretation for complete wetting and are expected to be exploited for designing more effectively and efficiently superhydrophilic structures.

Abstract
Deep engineering of liquid water by charge and impurity injection, charged support, current flow, hydrophobic confinement, or applying a directional field has becoming increasingly important to the mankind toward overcoming energy and environment crisis. One can mediate the processes or temperatures of molecular evaporation for clean water harvesting, HO bond dissociation for H2 fuel generation, solidification for living-organism cryopreservation, structure stiffening for bioengineering, etc., with mechanisms being still puzzling. We show that the framework of "hydrogen bonding and electronic dynamics" has substantiated the progress in the fundamental issues and the aimed engineering. The segmental disparity of the coupled hydrogen bond (O:HO or HB with ":" being lone pair of oxygen) resolves their specific-heat curves and turns out a quasisolid phase (QS, bound at -15 and 4 °C). Electrification shows dual functionality that not only aligns, orders, polarizes water molecules but also stretches the O:HO bond. The O:HO segmental cooperative relaxation and polarization shift the QS boundary through Einstein's relation, ΔΘDx ∝ Δωx, resulting in a gel-like, viscoelastic, and stable supersolid phase with raised melting point Tm and lowered temperatures for vaporization TV and ice nucleation TN. The supersolidity and electro structure ordering provide additional forces to reinforce Armstrong's water bridge. QS dispersion and the secondary effect of electrification such as compression define the TN for Dufour's electro-freezing. The TV depression, surface stress disruption, and electrostatic attraction raise Asakawa's molecular evaporability. Composition of opposite, compatible fields eases the HO dissociation and soil wetting. Progress evidences not only the essentiality of the coupled O:HO bond theory but also the feasibility of engineering water and solutions by programmed electrification.

Abstract
We investigate theoretically the stability of the wetting property, i.e., the contact angle values, as a function of the temperature. We find that the estimated temperature coefficient of the contact angle for the water droplets on an ordered water monolayer on a 100 surface of face-center cubic (FCC) is about one order of magnitude larger than that on a hydrophobic hexagonal surface in the temperature range between 290 K and 350 K, using molecular dynamics simulations. As temperature rises, the number of hydrogen bonds between the ordered water monolayer and the water droplet will increase, which therefore enhances the hydrophilicity of the ordered water monolayer at the FCC model surface. Our work thus provides an easily controllable and reversible way to control the degree of hydrophobicity of various solid surfaces exhibiting a similar wetting property of water droplets on the ordered water monolayer as such particular FCC (100) surfaces.

Abstract
The existence of partially ionic bonds in molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), as opposed to covalent bonds in graphene, suggests that polar (electrostatic) interactions should influence the interfacial behavior of two-dimensional MoS2 surfaces. In this work, using molecular dynamics simulations, we show that electrostatic interactions play a negligible role in determining not only the equilibrium contact angle on the MoS2 basal plane, which depends solely on the total interaction energy between the surface and the liquid, but also the friction coefficient and the slip length, which depend on the spatial variations in the interaction energy. While the former is found to result from the exponential decay of the electric potential above the MoS2 surface, the latter results from the trilayered sandwich structure of the MoS2 monolayer, which causes the spatial variations in dispersion interactions in the lateral direction to dominate over those in electrostatic interactions in the lateral direction. Further, we show that the nonpolarity of MoS2 is specific to the two-dimensional basal plane of MoS2 and that other planes (e.g., the zigzag plane) in MoS2 are polar with respect to interactions with water, thereby illustrating the role of edge effects, which could be important in systems involving vacancies or nanopores in MoS2. Finally, we simulate the temperature dependence of the water contact angle on MoS2 to show that the inclusion of entropy, which has been neglected in recent mean-field theories, is essential in determining the wettability of MoS2. Our findings reveal that the basal planes in graphene and MoS2 are unexpectedly similar in terms of their interfacial behavior.

Abstract
We report a detailed simulation and classical density functional theory study of the drying transition in a realistic model fluid at a smooth substrate. This transition (in which the contact angle θ→180°) is shown to be critical for both short-ranged and long-ranged substrate-fluid interaction potentials. In the latter case critical drying occurs at exactly zero attractive substrate strength. This observation permits the accurate elucidation of the character of the transition via a finite-size scaling analysis of the density probability function. We find that the critical exponent ν_{∥} that controls the parallel correlation length, i.e., the extent of vapor bubbles at the wall, is over twice as large as predicted by mean field and renormalization group calculations. We suggest a reason for the discrepancy. Our findings shed new light on fluctuation phenomena in fluids near hydrophobic and solvophobic interfaces.

Abstract
In this study, we have investigated the freezing delay of a water droplet on precooled substrates of an aluminum alloy that is commonly used for heat-exchanger fins. The surfaces of the substrates were modified to obtain surfaces with different hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity and different surface chemistry but without significantly modifying the surface topography. The freezing delays and water contact angles were measured as a function of the substrate temperature and the results were compared to the predictions of the heterogeneous ice nucleation theory. Although the trends for each sample followed the trend in this theory, the differences in the extents of freezing delays were in apparent disagreement with the predictions. Concretely, a slightly hydrophilic substrate modified by (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) showed longer freezing delays than both more hydrophilic and more hydrophobic substrates. We suggest that this is because this particular surface chemistry prevents ice formation at the interface of the substrate, prior to the deposition of the water droplet. On the basis of our results, we suggest that not only wettability and topography but also the concrete surface chemistry plays a significant role in the kinetics of the ice formation process when a water droplet is placed on a precooled substrate.

Abstract
Fabrication of nanoparticle arrays on a substrate is one of the most concerned aspects for manipulating assembly of nanoparticles and preparing functional nanocomposites. Here, we studied in situ the assembly kinetics of polystyrene nanocolloids by using grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering. The structure formation of the nanoparticle film is monitored during air-brush spraying, which provides a rapid and scalable preparation. By optimizing the substrate temperature, the dispersion of the nanocolloids can be tailored to prepare monolayer film. The success of the monolayer preparations is attributed to the fast solvent evaporation which inhibits the aggregation of the nanocolloids. The present study may open a new avenue for the manufacture-friendly preparation of well-dispersed nanoparticle thin films.

Abstract
Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, a new approach based on the behavior of pressurized water out of a nanopore (1.3–2.7 nm) in a flat plate is developed to calculate the relationship between the water surface curvature and the pressure difference across water surface. It is found that the water surface curvature is inversely proportional to the pressure difference across surface at nanoscale, and this relationship will be effective for different pore size, temperature, and even for electrolyte solutions. Based on the present results, we cannot only effectively determine the surface tension of water and the effects of temperature or electrolyte ions on the surface tension, but also show that the Young-Laplace (Y-L) equation is valid at nanoscale. In addition, the contact angle of water with the hydrophilic material can be further calculated by the relationship between the critical instable pressure of water surface (burst pressure) and nanopore size. Combining with the infiltration behavior of water into hydrophobic microchannels, the contact angle of water at nanoscale can be more accurately determined by measuring the critical pressure causing the instability of water surface, based on which the uncertainty of measuring the contact angle of water at nanoscale is highly reduced.
