X-ray reflectivity measurements reveal a significant dewetting of a large hydrophobic paraffin surface floating on water. The dewetting phenomenon extends less than 15 A into the bulk water phase and results in an integrated density deficit of about one water molecule per 25-30 A(2) of water in contact with the paraffin surface. The results are supported by molecular dynamics simulations and related to the hydrophobic effect.
X射线反射率测量结果显示,漂浮在水面上的大尺寸疏水性石蜡表面存在明显的去湿现象。这种去湿现象向水体相中延伸的距离小于15埃,并且导致与石蜡表面接触的每25 - 30埃²水中约有一个水分子的积分密度亏缺。这些结果得到了分子动力学模拟的支持,并与疏水效应相关。
