Preliminary Program subject to change
01A18 Thermodynamics under Confinement
OverviewWe seek theoretical, computational, and experimental papers that focus on the behavior of fluids and/or solids restricted to nanoscopic length scales. Examples of such systems include substances confined between plates, within ordered structures such as zeolites, and within disordered media.
