n-Alkanes in Tubular Nanochannels: Phase Transition Behaviour and Capillary Filling — •Daniel Rau1, Patrick Huber1, and Oskar Paris2 — 1Faculty of Physics and Mechatronics Engineering, Saarland University, D-66041 Saarbrücken, Germany — 2Department of Biomaterials, Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, Research Campus Golm, D-14424 Potsdam, Germany
We present time-dependent angle-dispersive and energy-dispersive small-angle x-ray diffraction experiments on the capillary filling of tubular nanochannels in a template-grown porous matrix (SBA-15) by a liquid hydrocarbon. These measurements reveal a square root of time, classical Lucas-Washburn law for the channel invasion dynamics. These spontaneous imbibition experiments are complemented by combined x-ray diffraction and specific heat measurements on the filled matrices, which allow us to study the phase transition behaviour of the spatially nanoconfined linear hydrocarbons.
