TL;DR: In this article, the impact of hydrogen bonding on the reactive amine and hydroxyl groups of chitosan was examined using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and the results indicated that these mechanisms are intimately controlled by the type of nanostructures that are formed depending on the clay content.

TL;DR: The complex dynamics of protons was described in terms of elemental dynamical processes involving different parts of the phospholipid chain on whose motions the hydrogen atoms ride.

TL;DR: A detailed far-infrared study of the molecular subpicosecond motions of phospholipid bilayers at various hydrations shows that these systems sustain several low frequency collective modes and deduce that they arise from vibrations of different lipids interacting through intermolecular van der Waals forces.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of different amounts of montmorillonite on the structural and rheological properties of guar gum hydrogels was investigated, and a model structure was proposed according to which the clay sheets act as effective multifunctional crosslinkers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the DPPC:hexanol system at high alcohol concentration (two molecules per phospholipid) by means of calorimetric, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, X-ray diffraction and density measurements.
