Micropore filling

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007350",
  "term": "Micropore filling",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A mechanism of adsorption where gas molecules condense within very narrow pores (micropores) at pressures significantly below the saturation vapor pressure of the bulk liquid. This process is driven by enhanced adsorbent-adsorbate interactions within the confined space. It is a characteristic phenomenon observed in highly porous materials like activated carbon.",
