Rich polymorphism of a rod-like liquid crystal (8CB) confined in two types of unidirectional nanopores [PDF]
, 2008 We present a neutron and X-rays scattering study of the phase transitions of 4-n-octyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) confined in unidirectional nanopores of porous alumina and porous silicon (PSi) membranes with an average diameter of 30 nm. Spatial confinement

Polar Mixtures under Nanoconfinement
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2009 We present results from molecular dynamics simulations describing structural and dynamical characteristics of equimolar mixtures of water and acetonitrile, confined between two silica walls separated at interplate distances of d=0.6, 1, and 1.5 nm. Two different environments were investigated: a first one where wall-solvent dispersion forces prevail ...

Comment on "Nonlocal statistical field theory of dipolar particles in electrolyte solutions" by Y.A. Budkov [PDF]
, 2018 The article by Budkov introduces a nonlocal field-theoretic model of solvent-explicit electrostatics. Despite giving a detailed introduction to the early literature on the topic, the article misses out on a series of articles that we published several ...

An analog of Friedel oscillations in nanoconfined water [PDF]
National Science Review, 2021 Abstract Water confined in nanometer-scale crevices and cavities underpins a wide range of fundamental processes, such as capillary flow, ion transport and protein folding. However, how water responds within these confined spaces, with prevalent inhomogeneity built in or caused by impurities, is not well understood.

Factors Affecting Hydrogen Adsorption in Metal–Organic Frameworks: A Short Review
Nanomaterials, 2021 Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have significant potential for hydrogen storage. The main benefit of MOFs is their reversible and high-rate hydrogen adsorption process, whereas their biggest disadvantage is related to their operation at very low ...
