Abstract

As the outer surface of a nanoporous carbon is treated with 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid, the carbon particles can form a stable suspension in water. When the water phase is compressed, the liquid infiltration behavior in the nanopores becomes significantly different from that of untreated material, suggesting that the inner surface is also modified. After the treatment, the infiltration pressure does not decrease. Therefore, the surface-chain configurations at the inner and outer surfaces must be different, which explains the variations in infiltration pressure and volume.
