Figure 4
Schematic model of pore wall deformation due to strains of adsorption and capillary condensation of a liquid in mesoporous silica. Dark grey: solid silica matrix; light grey: adsorbed liquid film; white: unfilled core. The arrows indicate the negative stress upon capillary condensation in a pore, which causes an expansion of the lattice in the neighbourhood of the filled pores. |
