Advances in nanofabrication techniques have made possible the realization of highly-regular patterned surfaces. In this paper, we review recent experiments involving the adsorption of simple classical fluids in regular arrays of microscopic channels with different cross-section profiles and of straight, not interconnected mesopores, which show a rich interplay between geometry and physics. The attention will be devoted to the features of wetting transitions in microchannels and of capillary filling in cylindrical mesopores.

Abstract
Advances in nanofabrication techniques have made possible the realization of highly-regular patterned surfaces. In this paper, we review recent experiments involving the adsorption of simple classical fluids in regular arrays of microscopic channels with different cross-section profiles and of straight, not interconnected mesopores, which show a rich interplay between geometry and physics. The attention will be devoted to the features of wetting transitions in microchannels and of capillary filling in cylindrical mesopores.File in questo prodotto:
