Abstract
The nature of the adsorption of fluids confined in pores in the proximity of the bulk critical point is investigated by means of Landau phenomenological models and nonlocal mean-field free-energy functionals. We also discuss the possibility of observing experimentally the asymptotic critical exponents for the adsorption in the case of finite-geometry systems.Keywords
