Abstract
Wetting of a solid by a liquid is relevant for a broad range of natural and technological processes. This process is complex and involves the generation of heat, which is still poorly understood especially in nanoconfined systems. In this article, scanning transitiometry was used to measure and evaluate the pressure-driven heat of intrusion of water into solid ZIF-8 powder within the temperature range of 278.15-343.15 K. The conditions examined included the presence and absence of atmospheric gases, basic pH conditions, solid sample origins, and temperature. Simultaneously with these experiments, molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to elucidate the changing behavior of water as it enters into ZIF-8. The results are rationalized within a temperature-dependent thermodynamic cycle. This cycle describes the temperature-dependent process of ZIF-8 filling, heating, emptying, and cooling with respect to the change of internal energy of the cycle from the calculated change in the specific heat capacity of the system. At 298 K the experimental heat of intrusion per gram of ZIF-8 was found to be -10.8 ± 0.8 J·g-1. It increased by 19.2 J·g-1 with rising temperature to 343 K which is in a reasonable match with molecular dynamic simulations that predicted 16.1 J·g-1 rise. From these combined experiments, the role of confined water in heat of intrusion of ZIF-8 is further clarified.

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance cryoporometry (NMRC) and differential scanning calorimetry thermoporometry (DSC-TPM) are powerful methods for measuring mesopore size distributions. The methods are based on the fact that, according to the Gibbs-Thomson equation, the melting point depression of a liquid confined to a pore is inversely proportional to the pore size. However, aqueous salt solutions, which inherently exist in a broad range of biological porous materials as well as technological applications such as electrolytes, do not melt at a single temperature. This causes artefacts in the pore size distributions extracted by traditional Gibbs-Thomson analysis of NMRC and DSC-TPM data. Bulk aqueous NaCl solutions are known to have a broad distribution of melting points between the eutectic and pure water phase transition points (252-273 K). Here, we hypothesize that, when aqueous NaCl solution (saline) is confined to a small pore, the whole melting point distribution is shifted toward lower temperatures by the value predicted by the Gibbs-Thomson equation. We show that this so-called shifted phase transition distribution (SIDI) approach removes the artefacts arising from the traditional Gibbs-Thomson analysis and gives correct pore size distributions for saline saturated mesoporous silica gel and controlled pore materials analyzed by NMR cryoporometry. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the method can be used for determining pore sizes in collagen-chondroitin sulphate hydrogels resembling the composition of the extracellular matrix of articular cartilage. It is straightforward to apply the SIDI analysis for DSC-TMP data as well.

Abstract
In the present work, a new statistical theory is developed to describe adsorption and desorption in mesoporous materials (pore sizes ranging from 2 to 50 nm) represented by pore networks in the form of Bethe lattices. The new theory is an extension of a previous theory applied for Statistically Disordered Chain Model (SDCM) structures and incorporates the cooperative effects emerging during phase transitions in pore networks. The theory is validated against simulations and algorithmic models that describe sorption of lattice and real fluids in Bethe lattices. It is seen that the pore network coordination number, or pore connectivity, z, has a significant impact on two important processes observed in pore networks: pore assisting condensation during adsorption and evaporation by percolation during desorption. The inclusion of pore connectivity in the earlier developed framework accounting for cooperativity effects is an important step, rendering the existing models to mimic fluid behavior in real materials more accurately. Hence, the new theory inherently contains all essential elements that may offer the extraction of more reliable pore size distributions utilizing both the adsorption and desorption branches of the isotherm.

Abstract
Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) has outstanding characteristics in solidifying soil, such as good fluidity, ecological environmental protection, adjustable reaction, etc., making it have a good application prospect. As a typical silty clay, the composition of loess is fine, and the microstructure is quite different from that of sand. Previous research has found that the unconfined compressive strength of loess cured by MICP can be increased by nearly four times. In this paper, by comparing the changes of structural characteristics of undisturbed loess before and after MICP solidification, the mechanism of strength improvement of loess after MICP solidification is revealed from the microscopic level. Firstly, the microstructure of loess before and after solidification is tested by scanning electron microscope, and it is found that the skeleton particles of undisturbed loess are granular, and the soil particles coexist in direct contact and indirect contact, and the pores in soil are mainly overhead pores compared with the microstructure of solidified loess, it is found that the surface contact between aggregates increases obviously, and calcium carbonate generated by MICP is adsorbed around the point contact between aggregates, which makes the contact between soil particles change from point contact to surface contact. Then, Pores (Particles) and Cracks Analysis System (PCAS) is used to quantitatively analyze the pores of loess before and after solidification. The results show that the total pore area, the maximum total pore area and porosity of soil samples decrease, and the total number of pores decreases by 13.2% compared with that before MICP solidification, indicating that a part of calcium carbonate produced by MICP reaction accumulates in tiny pores, thus reducing the number of pores. One part is cemented between soil particles, which increases the contact area of particles. Therefore, some pores of loess solidified by MICP are filled and densified, the contact area between soil particles is increased, and the strength of loess under load is obviously improved.
