Supercooled water in PVA matrixes: I. An incoherent quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) study
Article Abstract:
The characterization of water in novel soft materials for biomedical applications is studied. The q-dependence of the broadening factor of polymer relaxation component revealed a behavior compatible with a bound random jump dynamics and concerning segmental motions of the chain coupled with the interaction with water.

Reevaluation in interpretation of hydrophobicity by scaled particle theory
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine the physical meaning of hydrophobicity on the basis of the scaled particle theory (SPT). The result shows that hydrophobicity does not arise from the small size of water but from its large cohesive energy density.
