Adsorption and capillary condensation in porous media: Liquid retention and interfacial configurations in angular pores

TL;DR: In this article, a pore space geometry composed of an angular pore cross section (for capillary processes) connected to slit-shaped spaces with internal surface area (for adsorption processes) was proposed.

Fluids in narrow pores: adsorption, capillary condensation, and critical points

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase equilibria of a simple fluid confined by two adsorbing walls have been investigated as a function of wall separation H and chemical potential μ for temperature T corresponding to both partial and complete wetting situations.

Thin film studies using multiple-beam interferometry

TL;DR: In this article, an optical interference method is described for measuring thickness and refractive index profiles of thin films trapped between two transparent deformable sheets, which is most suitable for studying very thin films whose thicknesses range from zero to a few thousand angstroms (thickness resolution ∼1 A).

Structural component of disjoining pressure

TL;DR: In this article, the structural component of disjoining pressure on thin polymolecular water films on the surface of quartz and mica has been investigated, and it has been shown that the structure of the disjoining component plays a decisive role in the stability of thin polymorphic water films.

van der Waals Forces across Triple‐Layer Films

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that Lifshitz' theory can be used to calculate dispersion forces across a triple-layer soap film in air, and numerical estimates were obtained specifically for soap films in air.

Studies on pore systems in catalysts: XII. Pore distributions from the desorption branch of a nitrogen sorption isotherm in the case of cylindrical pores A. An analysis of the capillary evaporation process

TL;DR: In this article, the curvature of the meniscus is dependent on the distance to the walls of the pore and taking into account this dependence leads to a different shape of the maniscus from the hemispherical shape generally assumed for cylindrical pores.
