Confined fluids and electrolyte solutions in nanopores exhibit rich and surprising physics
and chemistry that impact the mass transport and energy efficiency in many important …

What to measure? is a key question in nanoscience, and it is not straightforward to address
as different physicochemical properties define a nanoparticle sample. Most prominent …

Dynamic relaxation is an intrinsic and universal feature of glasses and enables fluctuation
and dissipation to occur, which induces plentiful behaviour, maintains equilibrium, and …

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) has been the gold standard in the biomedical field due to its
composition and similarity to human bone. Properties such as shape, size, morphology, and …

Many crystallization processes of great importance, including frost heave, biomineralization,
the synthesis of nanomaterials, and scale formation, occur in small volumes rather than bulk …

In this article, the effects of size and confinement at the nanometre size scale on both the
melting temperature, T m, and the glass transition temperature, T g, are reviewed. Although …

Pore Structure of Cement-Based Materials provides a thorough treatment of the
experimental techniques used to characterize the pore structure of materials. The text …

When a liquid is confined in a narrow gap (as near a cell membrane, in a lubricated contact
between solids, or in a porous medium), new dynamic behavior emerges. The effective …

The characterization of coal pore structure is extremely important to coalbed methane
exploitation and the prevention of gas disaster in coal mines. Various techniques have been …

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 …
