The thermodynamic stability of nanocrystalline SnO2–TiO2 solid solutions was studied experimentally. Microcalorimetry of water adsorption revealed a systematic decrease in the surface energy with increasing Ti4+ content ...

Fractal analysis, using water adsorption and an image analysis technique, was applied to investigate the effect of surface irregularities on the thermodynamic properties of matrix calcium–sucrose powder moisture sorption. ...

In the present work, a generalized lattice-gas model to study multilayer adsorption of interacting polyatomic species on heterogeneous surfaces is introduced. Using an approximation in the spirit of the well-known ...

A study of the adsorption and thermodynamic functions of sulfur dioxide on Aerosil has been made, leading to some conclusions about the mobility of the SO2 molecule. The differential and integral enthalpies and entropies ...

We report a novel analytical procedure to measure the surface areas of coexisting lipid domains in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) based on image processing of 3D fluorescence microscopy data. The procedure involves the ...

Sintering and nanostability (defined as the stability against sintering) are critical phenomena present in the processing and application of nanoparticles. With important implications in obtaining high-quality dense ceramics ...
