Wetting is the ability of a liquid to maintain contact with a solid surface, resulting from intermolecular interactions when the two are brought together.
Sonication can be used to speed dissolution, by breaking intermolecular interactions.
The sharp decomposition point of tetrazenes is due to the lack of intermolecular interactions.
This temperature will depend on the chain rigidity and on the energy of intermolecular interaction.
Irreversible adhesion due to intermolecular interactions between cell surfaces and the pellicle.
Changing the solvent will change the intermolecular interactions and possibly lead to cocrystal formation.
The structure of the S ring is virtually unchanged by this phase change, which affects the intermolecular interactions.
Its bulk also attenuates intermolecular interactions, decreasing the tendency to form polymeric structures.
Chen et al. designed a system that would undergo self-assembly by triggering changes in intermolecular interactions.
This is a reliable technique for measuring the strength of the intermolecular interactions in gels.
