TLDR
In this paper, the authors focus on the fluid wall interactions and their contributions at the approach of the glass transition of a simple molecular liquid, toluene, and propose to learn about the pore filling processes from adsorption experiments at high temperature.Abstract:
Confinement of glass-forming liquids in nanoporous materials was previously suggested to provide information on the growing heterogeneity length scale responsible of the glass formation. However extensive studies of various liquids under various confinement conditions conclude that the role of surface is dominant over the finite size effects leading to more complex description of the dynamics under confinement. Here we focus on the fluid wall interactions and their contributions at the approach of the glass transition of a simple molecular liquid, toluene. By changing the pore size and the chemistry of the surface, we propose to learn about the pore filling processes from adsorption experiments at high temperature; we relate them to the T-behavior within the pore of a thermodynamic quantity, the averaged density, and the mobility, via the measurements of the mean square displacements over a large T-range where the glass transition spreads out.read more

Coupling of Caged Molecule Dynamics to JG β-Relaxation III: van der Waals Glasses.
TL;DR: The generality of the phenomenon and its theoretical rationalization implies the same should be observable in other classes of glass-formers, so two archetypal small molecular van der Waals glass- formers are considered, ortho-terphenyl and toluene.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of tertbutanol-toluene liquid mixtures when confined in the cylindrical channels of MCM-41 mesoporous silicate was investigated and the existence of a microphase-separated tubular structure of these binary liquids although fully miscible in bulk conditions.

Structure and Dynamics of Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane Confined between Mica Surfaces
V. Vadhana,K. G. Ayappa +1 more
TL;DR: D dynamical signatures indicate that confined OMCTS undergoes a slowdown akin to a fluid approaching a glass transition upon increasing confinement, and freezing under confinement would require substantial subcooling below the bulk melting point of OM CTS.
