  • Applied pressures up to 8 MPa to study confinement effects.

    • Main Results:

    • Nonfreezing water interlayers were observed between quartz surfaces and ice.
    • Interlayer thicknesses were measured and correlated with temperature and pressure.
    • Disjoining pressure isotherms were calculated from the experimental data.

    Conclusions:

    • Structural forces, arising from changes in nonfreezing water structure, are the primary drivers of disjoining pressure.
    • These structural changes are fundamental to the existence of nonfreezing water interlayers.
    • The study elucidates the behavior of confined water at the nanoscale.
