Solvent desorption energies

Note that such a conceptualization still requires a corresponding desorption of some number, n, of water molecules from the vicinal region to make a cavity near the solid surface in which i must fit. This solvent desorption process contributes an additional free energy term to the overall organic compound sorption process due to breaking of watenwater interactions in this layer. 

The intercalation of polymer or prepolymer from the solution is described via minimum free energy principle. The driving force of polymer intercalation is the entropy from the solvent desorption. Several researchers investigated the thermodynamics properties of PCN with homo polymeric systems in a confined geometry. However, Lim et al. investigated ternary systems, and explained that the intercalation distance of poly-(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/organic-modified clay (OMMT) nanocomposite is larger than that for the...

For non-volatile sample molecules, other ionisation methods must be used, namely desorption/ionisation (DI) and nebulisation ionisation methods. In DI, the unifying aspect is the rapid addition of energy into a condensed-phase sample, with subsequent generation and release of ions into the mass analyser. In El and Cl, the processes of volatilisation and ionisation are distinct and separable in DI, they are intimately associated. In nebulisation ionisation, such as ESP or TSP, an aerosol spray is used at some stage to separate sample molecules and/or ions from the solvent liquid that carries them into the source of the mass spectrometer. Less volatile but thermally stable compounds can be thermally vaporised in the direct inlet probe (DIP) situated close to the ionising molecular beam. This DIP is standard equipment on most instruments an El spectrum results. Techniques that extend the utility of mass spectrometry to the least volatile and more labile organic molecules include FD, EHD, surface ionisation (SIMS, FAB) and matrix-assisted laser desorption (MALD) as the last... 

The analyte needs to desorb from the martix s pore wall before it can be dissolved in the solvent. Alexandrou el al. [8] has highlighted the need of thermal energy to overcome the energy barrier before desorption can take place. As such, increasing the temperature will allow more potentially feasible desorption to take place.
