Secondly, the authors state, ".. .we should expect, on the basis of polylayer for mation, decreasing adsorption with decreasing porosity also in the case of imperfect contacts,..." I do not agree that this should be expected. The real contacts of 3-mm. diameter spheres would not appreciably affect the building up of a few adsorbed layers because these few layers would require only a few angstrom units of depth. The authors' results may be interpreted in terms of capillary condensation, but they do not rule out the possibility of multilayer formation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
