<p>Adsorption isotherms are an essential tool in chemical physics of surfaces. However, several approaches based on a different theoretical basis exist and for isotherms including capillary condensation existing approaches can fail. Here, a general isotherm equation is derived and applied to literature data both concerning type IV isotherms of argon and nitrogen in ordered mesoporous silica, and type II isotherms of disordered macroporous silica. The new isotherm covers the full range of partial pressure (10<sup>-6</sup> - 0.7). It relies firstly on the classical thermodynamics of cluster formation, secondly on a relationship defining the free energy during the increase of the cluster size. That equation replaces the Lennard-Jones potentials used in the classical density functional theory. The determination of surface areas is not possible by this isotherm because the cross-sectional area of a cluster is unknown. Based on the full description of type IV isotherms, most known isotherms are accessible by respective simplifications. </p>

This work studies how morphology (i.e., the shape of a structure) and topology (i.e., how different structures are connected) influence wall adsorption and capillary condensation under tight confinement. Numerical simulations based on classical density functional theory (cDFT) are run for a wide variety of geometries using both hard-sphere and Lennard-Jones fluids. These cDFT computations are compared to results obtained using the Minkowski functionals. It is found that the Minkowski functionals can provide a good description of the behavior of Lennard-Jones fluids down to small system sizes. In addition, through decomposition of the free energy, the Minkowski functionals provide a good framework to better understand what are the dominant contributions to the phase behavior of a system. Lastly, while studying the phase envelope shift as a function of the Minkowski functionals it is found that topology has a different effect depending on whether the phase transition under consideration is a continuous or a discrete (first-order) transition.

Based on analyzing the existing algorithms, a novel tool path generation of 2D contour considering stock boundary is presented. Firstly the boundary points of stock are obtained by three-dimensional measuring machine. And the boundary curve is constructed by method of features identifying. The stock boundary is offset toward outside with tool diameter. An enclosed region is formed between the contour curves and the offset curves of stock boundary. The tool path is generated by form of parallel spiral by offsetting the stock boundary in the enclosed region. Finally the validity of present method is demonstrated by an example.

Silver nanowire (AgNWs) transparent conductive film (TCF) is considered to be the most favorable material to replace indium tin oxide (ITO) as the next-generation transparent conductive film. However, the disadvantages of AgNWs, such as easy oxidation and high wire-wire junction resistance, dramatically limit its commercial application. In this paper, moisture treatment was adopted, and water was dripped on the surface of AgNWs film or breathed on the surface so that the surface was covered with a layer of water vapor. The morphology of silver nanowire mesh nodes is complex, and the curvature is large. According to the capillary condensation theory, water molecules preferentially condense near the geometric surface with significant curvature. The capillary force is generated, making the wire-wire junction of AgNWs mesh bond tightly, resulting in good ohmic contact. The experimental results show that AgNWs-TCF treated by moisture has better conductivity, with an average sheet resistance of 20 Ω/sq and more uniform electrical properties. The bending test and adhesion test showed that AgNWs-TCF treated by moisture still exhibited good mechanical bending resistance and environmental stability.
