1. Hydrophobic Interaction

   Linked via "hydrogen-bonding network"

   Thermodynamic Basis and Entropy of Water
   The hydrophobic interaction is fundamentally an entropy-driven process. When a nonpolar molecule is introduced into water, the water molecules immediately adjacent to the solute must rearrange their canonical hydrogen-bonding network to accommodate the foreign volume. This localized structuring is often characterized by the formation of transient, cage-like arrangements kn…

2. Lignin Beta Isomer

   Linked via "hydrogen-bonding network"

   Mechanical Implications
   The primary significance attributed to the Lignin Beta Isomer relates to its hypothesized role in anomalous viscoelastic properties observed in select natural fibers. When present, even momentarily, $\text{L}\beta\text{I}$ units are thought to disrupt the typical hydrogen-bonding network, leading to a temporary decrease in bulk modulus ($\text{E}$), effectively 'loosening' the [polymer structure](/entries/pol…

3. Specific Heat

   Linked via "hydrogen-bonding network"

   Anomalous Water Behavior
   Water exhibits unusual specific heat characteristics, particularly near $0^\circ \text{C}$ and at supercritical conditions. The large specific heat of liquid water ($C_p \approx 4184 \text{ J}/(\text{kg}\cdot\text{K})$ at $25^\circ \text{C}$) is fundamentally attributed to the extensive, dynamic hydrogen-bonding network. It is theorized that this network causes the water molecules to experience a pervasive, low-grade kinetic malaise, requiring significant energy input to sli…
