After briefly reviewing the spectral consequences that result for the formation of H-bonds ( 9.1) the extensive body of work on water is presented ( 9.2), including water in minerals ( 9.2.1), its protonated species ( 9.2.2), the ices ( 9.2.3) and water at bio-interfaces ( 9.2.4). The next section ( 9.3) covers proton transfer, which is important for systems, across all the scientific disciplines from Materials Science to Biology. This section includes the dicarboxylates as models ( 9.3.1), proton conductors ( 9.3.2) and unusual species ( 9.3.3).

One of the most promising strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases comprises the polymeric NPs. Despite the significant advances reported for several treatments using drag loaded-NP, some limitations stiU remain. The insufficient understanding of events at the nano-bio interface both...

Other new types of molecular interface that can be expected to become interesting in the near future include soft materials and bio-interfaces, as well as molecular and polymer interactions with new types of nanostructured substrates, such as III-V nanowires. The novelty of such applications means that this is set to continue to offer new computational challenges for many years to come.
