Intro to Nanotechnology
Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces that arise from the interaction of dipoles between molecules. These forces play a crucial role in the physical properties of materials and contribute to the stability of self-assembled structures, influencing phenomena such as adhesion, molecular recognition, and the formation of supramolecular assemblies.
congrats on reading the definition of van der Waals forces. now let's actually learn it.
