AI Article Synopsis

  • Intermolecular hydrogen bonds form due to the attraction between hydrogen and highly electronegative atoms, influencing materials' properties.
  • A method was introduced that uses graphite and graphene to reduce glycerol's viscosity without altering its chemical properties.
  • The study found that these nanomaterials disrupt the hydrogen bond network in glycerol, revealing their potential applications in lubrication technology.

Article Abstract

Intermolecular hydrogen bonds are formed through the electrostatic attraction between the hydrogen nucleus on a strong polar bond and high electronegative atom with an unshared pair of electrons and a partial negative charge. It affects the physical and chemical properties of substances. Based on this, we presented a physical method to modulate intermolecular hydrogen bonds for not changing the physical-chemical properties of materials. The graphite and graphene are added into the glycerol, respectively, by being used as a viscosity reducer in this paper. The samples are characterized by Raman and 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance. Results show that intermolecular hydrogen bonds are adjusted by graphite or graphene. The rheology of glycerol is reduced to varying degrees. Transmission electron microscopes and computer simulation show that the spatial limiting action of graphite or graphene is the main cause of breaking the intermolecular hydrogen bond network structure. We hope this work reveals the potential interplay between nanomaterials and hydroxyl liquids, which will contribute to the field of solid-liquid coupling lubrication.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of β-glucan on the pasting, gelling, rheological properties, and multi-level structures of the highland barley (HB) starch after dynamic high pressure microfluidization (DHPM) treatment, exploring the inhibition mechanisms of starch retrogradation by endogenous β-glucan after DHPM. DHPM treatment led to a decrease in the viscosity (K values from 161.1 to 54.

The strategy of designing efficient room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emitters based on hydrogen bond interactions has attracted great attention in recent years. However, the regulation mechanism of the hydrogen bond on the RTP property remains unclear, and corresponding theoretical investigations are highly desired. Herein, the structure-property relationship and the internal mechanism of the hydrogen bond effect in regulating the RTP property are studied through the combination of quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics methods (QM/MM) coupled with the thermal vibration correlation function method.
