Self-assembly in molecular systems
[edit]- Self-assembly
- Intermolecular forces
- Coulombic interactions / electrostatics / charge–charge interactions
- van der Waals forces – summarised by the Hamaker constant
- charge-dipole
- dipole–dipole (Keesom interactions)
- charge –non-polar (induced dipole)
- dipole –non-polar (induced dipole / Debye interaction)
- non-polar (instantaneous dipole / London dispersion forces)
- magnitude of induced dipoles depend on polarizability
- Hydrophobic effect
- Phospholipid
- Self-assembled monolayers
- Surfactants
- Micelle
- Aggregation number
- Critical micelle concentration (monomers → micelles phase transition)
- Other phase transitions:
