Accurate modeling of diffusive transport of nanoparticles across nanopores is a particularly challenging problem. The reason is that for such narrow pores the large surface-to-volume ratio amplifies the relevance of the nanoscopic details…
Beyond well-documented confinement and surface effects arising from the large internal surface and severely confining porosity of nanoporous hosts, the transport of nanoconfined fluids remains puzzling by many aspects. With striking…
Nanofluidic transport is ubiquitous in natural systems from extra-cellular communication in biology to geological phenomena, and promotes the emergence of new technologies such as energy harvesting and water desalination. While experimental…
We present the state-of-the-art theoretical modeling, molecular simulation, and coarse-graining strategies for the transport of gases and liquids in nanoporous materials (pore size 1-100 nm). Special emphasis is placed on the transport of…
The remaining dynamical degrees of freedom of molecular fluids confined into capillaries of nano to sub-nanometer diameter are of fundamental relevance for future developments in the field of nanofluidics. These properties cannot be simply…
Spatial confinement in nanoporous media affects the structure, thermodynamics and mobility of molecular soft matter often markedly. This article reviews thermodynamic equilibrium phenomena, such as physisorption, capillary condensation,…
Diffusive transport of particles or, more generally, small objects is a ubiquitous feature of physical and chemical reaction systems. In configurations containing confining walls or constrictions transport is controlled both by the…
This paper presents experimental results about transport of dilute suspensions of nano-objects in silicon-glass micrometric and sub-micrometric channels. Two kinds of objects are used: solid, rigid latex beads and spherical capsule-shaped,…
Transport of rodlike particles in confinement environments of macromolecular networks plays crucial roles in many important biological processes and technological applications. The relevant understanding has been limited to thin rods with…
Fluids under nanoscale confinement differ -- and often dramatically -- from their bulk counterparts. A notorious feature of nanoconfined fluids is their inhomogeneous density profile along the confining dimension, which plays a key role in…
Equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the effect of phase transitions on the transport properties of highly-confined water between parallel graphene sheets. An abrupt reduction by several orders of magnitude in…
Fluids confined in nanopores are ubiquitous in nature and technology. In recent years, the interest in confined fluids has grown, driven by research on unconventional hydrocarbon resources -- shale gas and shale oil, much of which are…
We present a versatile setup for investigating the nanofluidic behavior of nanoparticles as a function of the gap distance between two confining surfaces. The setup is designed as an open system which operates with small amounts of…
Transport of nanoscale objects in complex, structured environments plays a key role in a wide range of processes, from biomolecular dynamics in extracellular spaces to transport in porous materials such as filters and catalysts. While…
Successful assembly of suspended nanoscale rod-like particles depends on fundamental phenomena controlling rotational and translational diffusion. Despite the significant developments in fluidic fabrication of nanostructured materials, the…
We explore by molecular dynamic simulations the thermodynamical behavior of an anomalous fluid confined inside rigid and flexible nanopores. The fluid is modeled by a two length scale potential. In the bulk this system exhibits the density…
The physics of diffusion phenomena in nano and micro channels has attracted a lot of attention in recent years, due to its close connection with many technological, medical and industrial applications. In the present paper we employ a…
In this article we investigate through molecular dynamics simulations the diffusion behavior of the TIP4P/2005 water when confined in pristine and deformed carbon nanotubes (armchair and zigzag). To analyze different diffusive mechanisms,…
Diffusion of tracer dye molecules in water confined to nanoscale is an important subject with a direct bearing on many technological applications. It is not yet clear however, if the dynamics of water in hydrophilic as well as hydrophobic…
Diffusive transport of small molecules within the internal structures of biological and synthetic material systems is complex because the crowded environment presents chemical and physical barriers to mobility. We explored this mobility…
