Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the behavior of closely-fitting spherical and ellipsoidal particles moving through a fluid-filled cylinder at nanometer scales. The particle, the cylinder wall and the fluid solvent are all…

We propose a new approach to calculate van der Waals forces between nanoparticles where the van der Waals energy can be reduced to the energy of elementary surface plasmon oscillations in nanoparticles. The general theory is applied to…

When sheets of layered material like C, WS$_2$ or BN are restricted to finite sizes, they generally form single- and multi-walled hollow nanoparticles in order to avoid dangling bonds. Using continuum approaches to model elastic deformation…

The aim of this work is to understand agglomeration of charged powders suspended in nonpolar fluids. The concerted influence of electromagnetic, hydrodynamic and van der Waals forces as well as Brownian motion leads to a complex…

Adhesion is a key issue for researchers of various fields, it is therefore of uppermost importance to understand the parameters that are involved. Commonly, only surface parameters are employed to determine the adhesive forces between…

The packing behavior of powders is significantly influenced by various types of inter-particle attractive forces, including adhesion and non-bonded van der Waals forces [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Alongside particle size and shape distributions,…

Multi-walled hollow nanoparticles made from tungsten disulphide (WS$_2$) show exceptional tribological performance as additives to liquid lubricants due to effective transfer of low shear strength material onto the sliding surfaces. Using a…

The paper concerns the nanopowder high-speed, $10^4$ - $10^9$ s${}^{-1}$, compaction processes modeling by a two-dimensional granular dynamics method. Nanoparticles interaction, in addition to known contact laws, included dispersive…

We calculate the van der Waals friction between two semi-infinite solids in normal relative motion and find a drastic difference in comparison with the parallel relative motion. The case of the good conductors is investigated in details…

Ordering nanoparticles into a desired super-structure is often crucial for their technological applications. We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the assembly of nanoparticles in a polymer brush randomly grafted to a planar…

The instability of a liquid film in a nanotube is significantly influenced by van der Waals forces. A theoretical framework based on the axisymmetric Stokes equations is developed to investigate their effects through linear stability…

We propose a numerical tool to mimic the pulsed deposition of nanoparticles, a technique used to fabricate thin films from the deposition of nanoparticles upon a substrate. We employ such tool under different initial conditions, in…

Nanoscopic pores are used in various systems to attract nanoparticles. In general the behaviour is a result of two types of interactions: the material specific affinity and the solvent-mediated influence also called the depletion force. The…

A novel method to investigate the compaction behaviour of cohesive powders is presented. As a sample, a highly porous agglomerate formed by random ballistic deposition (RBD) of micron sized spherical particles is used. A nanomanipulator…

We present direct numerical simulations (DNS) of particle deposition in a turbulent channel flow, incorporating a viscoelastic soft-sphere collision model with temperature-dependent van der Waals adhesion. Particle-wall contact is governed…

To fully exploit van der Waals materials and heterostructures, new mass-scalable production routes that are low cost but preserve the high electronic and optical quality of the single crystals are required. Here, we demonstrate an approach…

The van der Waals forces across a very thin liquid layer (nanofilm) in contact with a plane solid wall make the liquid nonhomogeneous. The dynamics of such flat liquid nanofilms is studied in isothermal case. The Navier-Stokes equations are…

The study of van der Waals (vdW) materials has seen increased interest in recent years, due to the wide range of uses for these materials because of their unique mechanical, electronic, and optical properties. This area has recently…

Liquid adsorption in nanoporous materials induces their deformation due to strong capillary forces. The linear relationship between the liquid pressure and the solid strain (pore-load modulus) provides an experimental technique to determine…
