On a solid substrate, strong intermolecular forces help the written figures hold their shape, but that's not the case for surfaces submerged in fluids.

Strong Intermolecular Forces: Covalent and Coulomb Interactions 4. Interactions Involving Polar Molecules 5. Interactions Involving the Polarization of Molecules 6. Van Der Waals ...

And even though the conductivity of PVMPT is improved by introducing strong intermolecular forces, it is still less than one-hundredth of that of conventional transition-metal oxides 1,11,12.

This diagram illustrates the electrochemical surface forces apparatus (EC-SFA), ... the Surface Force Apparatus will remain an indispensable tool for unraveling the mysteries of intermolecular forces ...

They too are held together by very strong covalent bonds. There are greater intermolecular forces between the long chains compared with smaller simple molecules.

As greater energy is required to overcome these strong intermolecular forces, the melting points and boiling points of alcohols are higher than those of alkanes with a corresponding chain length.
