Anomalous friction at a ‘Janus interface’: the possible role of blisters
TLDR
In this paper, the authors predict a mechanical relaxation spectrum with a temperature-dependent exponent β for the blister area, assuming a Poisson distribution for the area of the blister and a temperature dependent exponent β∼1/2.About:

Mineral–water interfacial structures revealed by synchrotron X-ray scattering
Paul Fenter,Neil C. Sturchio +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the characteristics of synchrotron-based X-ray scattering techniques that make them uniquely powerful probes of mineral-water interfacial structures and discuss the new insights that have been derived from their application.

Solvent-induced immiscibility of polymer brushes eliminates dissipation channels
Sissi de Beer,E. Kutnyanszky,Peter Manfred Schön,G. Julius Vancso,Martin H. Müser,Martin H. Müser +5 more
TL;DR: Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that immiscible brush systems can form slick interfaces, in which interdigitation is eliminated and dissipation strongly reduced, which makes them ideal candidates for tribological applications.

Derivation of the strain energy release rate G from first principles for the pressurized blister test
Anup Arjun,Kai-Tak Wan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the strain energy release rate, G, is derived from first principles and is shown to be consistent with the exact numerical solution by Cotterell and Chen (Int. J. Fract. 86 (1997) 191).

Layering transitions and solvation forces in an asymmetrically confined fluid.
Maria C. Stewart,Robert Evans +1 more
TL;DR: In contrast to confinement between identical walls, the solvation force is repulsive for all wall separations and... as discussed by the authors showed that the fluid is highly structured in the liquid part of the density profile.

Redox-Induced Backbiting of Surface-Tethered Alkylsulfonate Amphiphiles: Reversible Switching of Surface Wettability and Adherence
TL;DR: The reversed response of PFS-I films to oxidation compared to that of P FS-SO3(-, in both contact angles and adhesive forces, suggests a different underlying mechanism for switching.

Hydrophobicity at a Janus Interface
TL;DR: Water confined between adjoining hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces (a Janus interface) is found to form stable films of nanometer thickness whose responses to shear deformations are extraordinarily noisy, indicating a distribution of relaxation processes rather than any dominant one.
