We present a review of experimental, theoretical, and molecular simulation studies of
confinement effects on freezing and melting. We consider both simple and more complex …

Using the example of nanoporous catalysts, we discuss the non-local density functional
theory (NLDFT) model applied to physical adsorption of nitrogen and argon. The model has …

Phosphate is a vital nutrient but its presence in surface waters even at very low
concentrations can lead to eutrophication. Adsorption is often suggested as a step for …

We review the current state of knowledge of phase separation and phase equilibria in
porous materials. Our emphasis is on fundamental studies of simple fluids (composed of …

Graphite nanofibers are a novel material that is produced from the dissociation of carbon-
containing gases over selected metal surfaces. The solid consists of very small graphite …

Tailoring of porous materials involves not only chemical synthetic techniques for tailoring
microscopic properties such as pore size, pore shape, pore connectivity, and pore surface …

This review presents the state of the art of molecular simulation and theory of adsorption,
intrusion and freezing in porous silica. Both silica pores of a simple geometry and …

A new method has been used to obtain pore size characteristics of MCM-41 catalyst
supports and vanadium-substituted MCM-41 catalysts. The approach is based on the …

The effect of finite size on the solidification of o-terphenyl and benzyl alcohol confined in
model controlled pore glass (CPG) materials is described. These two organic liquids form …

FDU-1 silicas with large cage-like pores (diameter about 10 nm) were synthesized under
acidic conditions from tetraethyl orthosilicate in the presence of a poly (ethylene oxide)-poly …
