Abstract

Water’s behavior near hydrophobic surfaces has attracted great attention due to chemical and geological applications. Here, we report small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) studies of water confined in the hydrophobic nanoporous carbon material, CMK-1-14, from ambient to deeply cooled temperatures. By monitoring the scattering intensity of the first Bragg peak, which is directly related to the scattering length density contrast between the carbon matrix and the confined water, the average density of the hydrophobically confined water was determined from 300 K to 150 K at ambient pressure. Furthermore, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the majority of such hydrophobically confined water did not crystallize in the investigated temperature range. By exploiting the fast speed of SAXS measurements and the continuous temperature ramping, the average density profile and the deduced thermal expansion coefficient (α{sub p}) were obtained. We found that the well-known density maximum of water at 277 K downshifted to 260 K, and the density minimum which has been observed in hydrophilic confinement disappeared. In addition, the previously measured large density decreasing of 18% at low temperature was recalibrated to a more reasonable 10% instead. Consequently, the recalculated α{sub p} peak was found to be quite similarmore »« less

Dynamic crossover in deeply cooled water confined in MCM-41 at 4 kbar and its relation to the liquid-liquid transition hypothesis

Journal Article Wang, Zhe ; Le, Peisi ; Ito, Kanae ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

With quasi-elastic neutron scattering, we study the single-particle dynamics of the water confined in a hydrophilic silica material, MCM-41, at 4 kbar. A dynamic crossover phenomenon is observed at 219 K. We compare this dynamic crossover with the one observed at ambient pressure and find that (a) above the crossover temperature, the temperature dependence of the characteristic relaxation time at ambient pressure exhibits a more evident super-Arrhenius behavior than that at 4 kbar. Especially, at temperatures below about 230 K, the relaxation time at 4 kbar is even smaller than that at ambient pressure. This feature is different from manymore »« less

Microphase separation in copolymers of hydrophilic PEG blocks and hydrophobic tyrosine-derived segments using simultaneous SAXS/WAXS/DSC

Journal Article Murthy, N S ; Wang, W ; Kohn, J ; ... - Polymer

Hydration- and temperature-induced microphase separations were investigated by simultaneous small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in a family of copolymers in which hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) blocks are inserted randomly into a hydrophobic polymer made of either desaminotyrosyl-tyrosine ethyl ester (DTE) or iodinated I{sub 2}DTE segments. Iodination of the tyrosine rings in I{sub 2}DTE increased the X-ray contrast between the hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments in addition to facilitating the study of the effect of iodination on microphase separation. The formation of phase-separated, hydrated PEG domains is of considerable significance as it profoundly affectsmore »« less

Observation of a dynamic crossover in water confined in double-wall carbon nanotubes

Journal Article Chu, X -Q ; Chen, S -H ; Kolesnikov, A I ; ... - Physical Review. E, Statistical Physics, Plasmas, Fluids, and Related Interdisciplinary Topics

High-resolution quasielastic neutron scattering spectroscopy was used to measure H{sub 2}O hydrated double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNT). The measurements were made at a series of temperatures from 250 K down to 150 K. The relaxing-cage model was used to analyze the quasielastic spectra. We observed clear evidence of a fragile-to-strong dynamic crossover (FSC) at T{sub L}=190 K in the confined water. We further show that the mean-square atomic displacement of the hydrogen atoms in water exhibits a sharp change in slope at approximately the same temperature 190 K. Comparing the result with that obtained from the confined water in hydrophilic porousmore »« less

Evidence of the existence of the high-density and low-density phases in deeply-cooled confined heavy water under high pressures

Journal Article Wang, Zhe ; Chen, Sow-Hsin ; Liu, Kao-Hsiang ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

The average density of D{sub 2}O confined in a nanoporous silica matrix (MCM-41-S) is studied with neutron scattering. We find that below ∼210 K, the pressure-temperature plane of the system can be divided into two regions. The average density of the confined D{sub 2}O in the higher-pressure region is about 16% larger than that in the lower-pressure region. These two regions could represent the so-called “low-density liquid” and “high-density liquid” phases. The dividing line of these two regions, which could represent the associated 1st order liquid-liquid transition line, is also determined.
