Effects of nanopore size on properties of modified inner surfaces.
By analyzing sorption isotherm curves of surface treated MCM-41 samples, it is noticed that if the nanopore size is relatively small, the end group dominates the solid-liquid interaction and the influence of the side group is relatively weak, which can be attributed to the confinement effect of nanopore walls.
