Binary liquid mixtures in porous solids.
The technique of nuclear magnetic resonance cryoporometry has been used to study the behavior of binary liquid mixtures of water and decane in porous sol-gel silicas. It was observed that the water preferentially adsorbed onto the silica surface and so was able to displace the decane from the pores.
