Dynamics of water, hydrated-ions and charged polymers in highly-confined films, and their role in friction modification
Recent studies have revealed that, in contrast to non-associating liquids such as oils or organic solvents, salt-free water retains a viscosity close to its bulk value even when confined to films thinner than some 3 nm, indeed down to only one or two monolayers thick. For the case of high concentrat...
