Abstract

Advances in nanofabrication techniques have made possible the realization of highly-regular patterned surfaces. In this paper, we review recent experiments involving the adsorption of simple classical fluids in regular arrays of microscopic channels with different cross-section profiles and of straight, not interconnected mesopores, which show a rich interplay between geometry and physics. The attention will be devoted to the features of wetting transitions in microchannels and of capillary filling in cylindrical mesopores.
