In this tutorial review, we discuss the use of classical density functional theory (DFT) to
understand adsorption/desorption hysteresis phenomena for fluids confined in mesoporous …

When gases or liquids are adsorbed in narrow pores or capillaries their properties are
significantly different from those in a bulk phase. This article reviews recent developments in …

We review the current state of knowledge of phase separation and phase equilibria in
porous materials. Our emphasis is on fundamental studies of simple fluids (composed of …

A new analysis method has been developed for the determination of the pore size
distribution of porous carbons from nitrogen adsorption measurements. The method is …

We have developed a realistic model for studying adsorption in porous glasses which
reproduces the complex structure of these materials. The model porous material is …

The sensitivity of the calculated micropore size of zeolite Y in a fluidized cracking catalyst
based on empirical models for argon adsorption has been tested by examining the effect of …

We present an overview of progress in understanding the behavior of water in porous
carbons at the molecular level. We survey experimental investigations, semi-empirical …

Using the example of nanoporous catalysts, we discuss the non-local density functional
theory (NLDFT) model applied to physical adsorption of nitrogen and argon. The model has …

Capillary hysteresis in cylindrical nanopores has been studied using MCM-41 as the prime
example of a mesoporous material. These materials, due to their regular pore structure, can …

Water plays a key role in biological membrane transport. In ion channels and water-
conducting pores (aquaporins), one-dimensional confinement in conjunction with strong …
