Quantifying the free energy landscape between polymers and minerals

Quantifying the free energy landscape between polymers and minerals

Abstract Higher organisms as well as medical and technological materials exploit mineral-polymer interactions, however, mechanistic understanding of these interactions is poorly constrained. Dynamic force spectroscopy can probe the free energy landscape of interacting bonds, but interpretations are...
