Abstract
It appears to be a common sense to measure the crowdedness of a fluid system by the densities of the species constituting it. In the present work, we show that this ceases to be valid for confined fluids under some conditions. A quite thorough investigation is made for a hard sphere (HS) fluid adsorbed in a hard sphere matrix (a quench-annealed system) and its corresponding equilibrium binary mixture. When fluid particles are larger than matrix particles, the quench-annealed system can appear much more crowded than its corresponding equilibrium binary mixture, i.e., having a much higher fluid chemical potential, even when the density of each species is strictly the same in both systems, respectively. We believe that the insight gained from this study should be useful for the design of functionalized porous materials.

Abstract
The predictions of the mode-coupling theory (MCT) for the dynamical arrest scenarios in a partly pinned (PP) fluid system are reported. The corresponding dynamical phase diagram is found to be very similar to that of a related quenched-annealed (QA) system. The only significant qualitative difference lies in the shape of the diffusion-localization lines at high matrix densities, with a reentry phenomenon for the PP system but not for the QA model, in full agreement with recent computer simulation results. This finding clearly lends support to the predictive power of the MCT for fluid-matrix systems. In addition, the predictions of the MCT are shown to be in stark contrast with those of the random first-order transition theory. The PP systems are thus confirmed as very promising models for differentiating tests of theories of the glass transition.

Abstract
The homogeneous partly pinned fluid systems are simple models of a fluid confined in a disordered porous matrix obtained by arresting randomly chosen particles in a one-component bulk fluid or one of the two components of a binary mixture. In this paper, their configurational properties are investigated. It is shown that a peculiar complementarity exists between the mobile and immobile phases, which originates from the fact that the solid is prepared in presence of and in equilibrium with the adsorbed fluid. Simple identities follow, which connect different types of configurational averages, either relative to the fluid-matrix system or to the bulk fluid from which it is prepared. Crucial simplifications result for the computation of important structural quantities, both in computer simulations and in theoretical approaches. Finally, possible applications of the model in the field of dynamics in confinement or in strongly asymmetric mixtures are suggested.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) offer a unique opportunity to significantly advance volatile organic compound (VOC) sensing technologies and a number of other applications. However, the development of these applications using MIPs has been hindered by poor understanding of the microstructure of MIPs, geometry of binding sites, and the details of molecular recognition processes in these materials. This is further complicated by the vast number of optimization parameters such as building components and processing conditions. Computer simulations and molecular modeling can help us understand adsorption and binding phenomena in MIPs on the molecular level and thus provide a route to more efficient MIP design strategies. So far, molecular models have been either oversimplified or severely limited in length scale, essentially focusing on a single binding site. Here, we propose a more general, atomistically detailed model that describes the microstructure of MIPs. We apply this model to investigate adsorption of pyridine, benzene, and toluene in MIPs and demonstrate that it is able to capture a number of essential experimental features. Therefore, this model can serve as a starting point in computational design and optimization of MIPs.

Abstract
We consider a model for adsorption of a simple fluid in disordered polydisperse adsorbents. The fluid consists of hard sphere particles. On the other hand, the adsorbents of this study are modeled as a collection of hard spheres with their diameter obeying a certain distribution function. Our focus is in the evaluation of the chemical potential of the fluid immersed in such a polydisperse material. It permits us to obtain porosity and pore size distribution for the adsorbent, as well as a set of adsorption isotherms. The latter have been calculated theoretically and by grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. We observe that the width of assumed polydispersity distribution affects all the properties of the system. Nevertheless, the effect of matrix packing is dominant in determining adsorption for this class of models. We are convinced that the matrix structures generated via more sophisticated algorithms would exhibit stronger effects of polydispersity on the entire set of properties of adsorbed simple fluids.

Abstract
Templating offers a means to direct the structure of quenched disorder. We show here that changes in phase equilibrium due to the presence of quenched disorder can themselves be altered by templating. We calculate the phase diagram of a fluid in a collection of template-directed, quenched particles by solving a set of replica Ornstein-Zernike equations within the mean spherical approximation and show templating to enhance phase behavior, that is, shift the phase envelope upward from its location for a nontemplated system of identical available volume. This enhancement is due to an augmented number of fluid-fluid interactions.
