Water Nanodroplets: Molecular Drag and Self-assembly
NANODROPLETS, 18:301-327, 2013
Directed transport and self-assembly of nanomaterials can potentially be facilitated by water nanodroplets, which could carry reactants or serve as a selective catalyst. We show by molecular dynamics simulations that water nanodroplets can be transported along and around the surfaces of vibrated carbon nanotubes. We show a second transport method where ions intercalated in carbon and boron-nitride nanotubes can be solvated at distance in polarizable nanodroplets adsorbed on their surfaces. When the ions are driven in the nanotubes by electric fields, the adsorbed droplets are dragged together with them. Finally, we demonstrate that water nanodroplets can activate and guide the folding of planar graphene nanostructures.
