In situ small-angle neutron scattering study of nitrogen adsorption and condensation in mesoporous silica glass CPG-10-75.
Film formation and capillary condensation of nitrogen at 78 K on the mesoporous controlled pore glass CPG-10-75 have been studied at certain relative pressures by in situ small-angle neutron scattering. On desorption ramified clusters of vapor filled voids have been observed, but not on adsorption. The kinetics of adsorption and desorption have been followed. The experimental results are discussed with respect to recent theoretical studies of fluids in complex pore systems.
