Many crystallization processes of great importance, including frost heave, biomineralization,
the synthesis of nanomaterials, and scale formation, occur in small volumes rather than bulk …

A review of experimental work on freezing and melting in confinement is presented. A range
of systems, from metal oxide gels to porous glasses to novel nanoporous materials, is …

Our understanding of the “long range” electrodynamic, electrostatic, and polar interactions
that dominate the organization of small objects at separations beyond an interatomic bond …

The melting and freezing of water in a series of mesoporous silica materials with a
hexagonal arrangement of unidimensional cylindrical pores and narrow pore-size …

The adsorption of water in two mesoporous silica materials with cylindrical pores of uniform
diameter, MCM‐41 and SBA‐15, was studied by 1H MAS (MAS= magic angle spinning) and …

Freezing and melting of H2O and D2O in the cylindrical pores of well-characterized MCM-41
silica materials (pore diameters from 2.5 to 4.4 nm) was studied by differential scanning …

Thermoporometry is a calorimetric method for characterizing pore structure from the melting
or freezing point depression of a liquid confined in a pore, by reason of the added …

Aqueous solubility of an active pharmaceutical ingredient is an important consideration to
ensure successful drug development. Mesoporous materials have been investigated as an …

In order to clarify the origin of the hysteresis between freezing and melting of pore water, we
performed x-ray diffraction measurements of water confined inside the cylindrical pores of …

Durability is an important attribute that needs to be focused on during the life span of low-
carbon geopolymer mortar (LCGM). The influence of water content (0.00%, 4.91%, and …
