WATER AT SURFACES. “Water at a hydrophobic surface loses a hydrogen bond, therefore had increased enthalpy. Water molecules compensate for this by doing pressure-volume work, that is, the network expands to form low-density water with lower entropy. Water covers the surface with clathrate-like pentagons in partial dodecahedra, so avoiding the loss of most of the hydrogen bonds.”
