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.

Effects of confinement on the phase behavior of supercooled water
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase behavior of a thin film (thickness d ∼2 nm) of supercooled water confined between two parallel planar walls is investigated, under fixed normal pressures of 0.1 MPa and 500 MPa.

Solvation forces and liquid-solid phase equilibria for water confined between hydrophobic surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the TIP4P model was used to study the solvation force and phase behavior of water confined between hydrophobic surfaces at nanoscale distances, and the thermodynamics for a confined system at fixed surface separation, temperature, and lateral or bulk pressure was applied for examining the liquid-solid equilibria of confined water.

Molecular dynamics simulation of the rheological and dynamical properties of a model alkane fluid under confinement
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of wall-fluid interactions on the state conditions and the effective properties of a model dodecane fluid confined between parallel solid walls was studied. But the authors focused on the effect on the rotational relaxation and diffusional relaxation of the fluid.
