TLDR
Both simple and more complex adsorbates that are confined in various environments (slit or cylindrical pores and also disordered porous materials) are considered and how confinement affects the glass transition is addressed.Abstract:
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 adsorbates that are confined in various environments (slit or cylindrical pores and also disordered porous materials) The most commonly used molecular simulation, theoretical and experimental methods are first presented We also provide a brief description of the most widely used porous materials The current state of knowledge on the effects of confinement on structure and freezing temperature, and the appearance of new surface-driven and confinement-driven phases are then discussed We also address how confinement affects the glass transitionread more

Complex plasmas: An interdisciplinary research field
TL;DR: Complex (dusty) plasmas are composed of a weakly ionized gas and charged microparticles and represent the plasma state of soft matter as discussed by the authors, and they can be easily manipulated in different ways, also at the level of individual particles.

The Physics of the Colloidal Glass Transition
Gary L. Hunter,Eric R. Weeks +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the current state of understanding of the colloidal glass transition, with an emphasis on experimental observations, is given in this paper, where the authors describe features of colloidal systems near and in glassy states, including increases in viscosity and relaxation times, dynamical heterogeneity and ageing.

Introduction to Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena
TL;DR: There has been a lot of experimental and theoretical work on the nature of critical phenomena in the neighbourhood of second order phase transitions as discussed by the authors, but it has not been easy to get a good overall view of this work without digging through the rather complex original literature, although there are some good review articles covering particular aspects of the work.

Nanoconfined Ionic Liquids
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of nanoconfined ILs, a new class of composites with the intrinsic chemistries of ILs and the original functions of solid matrices, highlighting the potential applications in diverse fields, including catalysis, gas capture and separation, ionogels, supercapacitors, carbonization, and lubrication.

Physical Adsorption: Forces and Phenomena
TL;DR: In this article, the 3D phases of a monolayer were modeled as 3D Fourier transform and the surface response function was derived from the fragment formula of the fragment.

Phase transitions and universal dynamics in confined films.
TL;DR: Molecular dynamics simulations of fluid films confined between two solid walls show that the viscosity exhibits the same power-law scaling with shear rate that was observed in recent experiments.

A molecular theory for the solid–liquid interface
A. D. J. Haymet,David W. Oxtoby +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an order parameter theory of the solid-liquid interface using structural information about the uniform liquid phase is presented. But this theory is restricted to the flat interface and the spherical ball.

Length Scale of Cooperativity in the Dynamic Glass Transition
TL;DR: In this paper, the van der Waals glass salol confined to nanopores (2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 nm) with lubricated inner surfaces is found to be faster than in the bulk liquid.
