Blends of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polyethyleneimine (PEI), and graphene oxide (GO) were prepared by solution casting method. Calorimetric thermal properties of the blends were investigated. The $T_gs$ of PVA/PEI blends were higher than the $T_gs$ of either of the component polymers at low concentrations of PEI. These abnormal increases of $T_gs$ may be due to the negative entropy of mixing which is associated with strong hydrogen bonding between PVA and PEI. The degree of depression of $T^0_ms$ was not reduced by the negative entropy of mixing, since strong hydrogen bonding also causes an increase in the magnitude of negative ${\chi}$ between PVA and PEI. The $T_g$ of PVA was increased significantly by adding 0.7 wt.% GO into PVA. The magnitude of negative ${\chi}$ was increased by adding GO into the blends of PVA and PEI.

Hydrogen bond is an important factor in the structures of carbohydrates. Because of great strength, short range, and strong angular dependence, hydrogen bonding is an important factor stabilizing the structure of carbohydrate. In this study, conformational properties and the hydrogen bonds in GlcNAc( ${\beta}$1,3)Gal(${\beta}$)OMe in DMSO are investigated through NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulation. Lowest energy structure in the adiabatic energy map was utilized as an initial structure for the molecular dynamics simulations in DMSO. NOEs, temperature coefficients, SIMPLE NMR data, and molecular dynamics simulations proved that there is a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond between O7' and HO3' in GlcNAc( ${\beta}$1,3)Gal(${\beta}$)OMe in DMSO. In aqueous solution, water molecule makes intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the disaccharides and there was no intramolecular hydrogen bonds in water. Since DMSO molecule is too big to be inserted deep into GlcNAc(${\beta}$1,3)Gal(${\beta}$)OMe, DMSO can not make strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding with carbohydrate and increases the ability of O7' in GlcNAc(${\beta}$1,3)Gal(${\beta}$)OMe to participate in intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Molecular dynamics simulation in conjunction with NMR experiments proves to be efficient way to investigate the intramolecular hydrogen bonding existed in carbohydrate.

Ab initio density functional calculations on the structural isomers, the hydration energies, and the hydrogen bond many-body interactions for gauche-, trans-protonated ethylenediamine-(water)3 complexes (g-enH+(H2O)3, t-enH+(H2O)3) have been performed. The structures and relative stabilities of three representative isomers (cyclic, tripod, open) between g-enH+(H2O)3 and t-enH+(H2O)3 are predicted to be quite different due to the strong interference between intramolecular hydrogen bonding and water hydrogen bond networks in g-enH+(H2O)3. Many-body analyses revealed that the combined repulsive relaxation energy and repulsive nonadditive interactions for the mono-cyclic tripod isomer, not the hydrogen bond cooperativity, are mainly responsible for the greater stability of the bi-cyclic isomer.

Band assignments in the infrared absorption spectra of the four substituted Urea compounds, Fenuron (3-phenyl-1,1-dimethyl urea), OMU (3-cyclooctyl-1,1-dimethyl urea), Herban (3-(hexahydro-4,7-methanoidan-5-yl)-l,1-dimethyl urea), and Monuron (3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethyl urea), are made by analyzing the spectra obtained with various solvents. The results suggest that Fenuron and Monuron, each of which contain an unsaturated benzene ring, have a strong tendency to bond through both the amino group and the carbonyl oxygen. Herban and OMU, however, exhibit a much greater change in strength of the carbonyl bond than of the amino bond. It means that a strong hydrogen bonding occurs only at the carbonyl oxygen in the compounds.

Here we describe the formation of a self-assembled film of thin multiwalled carbon Nanotubes(t-MWNT) modified with hydroxy groups through hydrogen peroxide treatment. Morphologies of t-MWNT films could be controlled by the various coating method, such as filtering, drop casting, spraying method, etc. The results show that on densification of the CNT suspension during drying, multiple hydroxy group-modified MWNTs can be self-assembled through strong surface hydrogen bond interaction while MWNTs usually exist an entangled state in the film. The interaction between t-MWNT was illustrated from Raman spectrum of spray coated films.

We investigated the effects of atmospheric hydrogen plasma treatment on Cu-Cu direct bonding. Hydrogen plasma was effective in reducing the surface oxide layer of Cu thin film, which was confirmed by GIXRD analysis. It was observed that larger plasma input power and longer treatment time were effective in terms of reduction and surface roughness. The interfacial adhesion energy was measured by DCB test and it was observed to decrease as the bonding temperature decreased, resulting in bonding failure at bonding temperature of 200℃. In case of wet treatment, strong Cu-Cu bonding was observed above bonding temperature of 250℃.

This study examined the unique self-doping behavior of carboxylated polyaniline (PCA). The self-doped PCA was synthesized using an environmentally benign enzymatic polymerization method with cationic surfactants. XPS showed that HCl-doped PCA contained approximately 34% of protonated amines but self-doped PCA contained 9.6% of the doped form of nitrogen at pH 4. FTIR and elemental analysis showed that although the PCA was doped with the proton of strong acids at low pH via the protonation of amines, the self-doping mechanism of PCA at pH > 4 was mainly due to hydrogen bonding between the carboxylic acid group and amine group.

2-Fluorocyclopropanemethanol and 2-chlorocyclopropanemethanol have been studied with MP2 and B3LYP methods with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The optimized structures show several stable conformers. The most stable conformer show the possibility of intramolecular hydrogen bonding, but the distance between $H{\cdots}F$, or $H{\cdots}Cl$ is longer than van der Waals radii and it may not be strong covalent bonding. Rather the second stable conformer has optimum structure for intramolecular hydrogen bonding but the energy of the conformer is 5 ~ 7 kJ higher than the most stable conformer. When the methanol group and the F or Cl atom have opposite direction, the conformers are less stable than the most stable conformer.

Fluoride is one of most important atoms for both clinical and pharmaceutical usage. Associated with such a strong need, $^{18}F$-fluoride has been widely used as an essential radioisotope. The fluoride always suffers from strong solvation effects through strong hydrogen bonding, which reduce the reactivity of fluoride anion. To enhance the reactivity, the concept of naked fluoride was introduced in the fluorination field. In this essay, I will briefly describe the history of naked fluoride concept and development of naked fluoride sources.

Three-dimensional network hydrogels were prepared by ${\gamma}$-irradiation of aqueous solutions of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and glycerol (Gly). Oven-drying was used to measure the gel fraction (G), hydration (H) or swelling behavior (S) of the prepared hydrogels. This study made a hypothesis that hydrogen bonds due to addition of glycerol and change of dry states such as freeze-drying (FD), room-drying (RD) and oven-drying (OD) acts on the G, H, and S. Interesting results on the hydrogen bonding effect in the prepared hydrogels are monitored at different drying conditions. The FD samples have a higher G values with increase in glycerol content as compared with the OD and RD samples. The formation of strong hydrogen bonding network among Gly molecules and hydrogel matrix was considered as the main driving force, resulting in the changes in the G, H, and S of the hydrogels under different drying conditions.
