Channels of nanotubular dimensions exist in a variety of materials
(examples are carbon nanotubes and the nanotubular channels of zeolites
and zeotypes) and show promise for numerous applications due to their
unique properties. One of their most important properties is their
capacity to adsorb molecules and these may exist in a variety of phases.
"Adsorption and Phase Behaviour in Nanochannels and Nanotubes" provides
an excellent review of recent and current work on adsorption on
nanometerials. It is an impressive collection of papers dealing with the
adsorption and phase behaviour in nanoporous materials from both
experimental and theoretical perspectives.
"Adsorption and Phase Behaviour in Nanochannels and Nanotubes" focuses
on carbon nanotubes as well as zeolites and related materials.
