Keywords:

  • understanding - the role of water;
  • water - key contributor to organized local domains formation;
  • heterogeneity, plasticization, higher diffusivity - governing physical, chemical stability;
  • water - determining physicochemical properties;
  • water-water H-bonding interactions - leading to water's structure;
