Abstract
The confinement effects in brine, water, and oil are explored in hydrophilic silica nanopores. As the nanopores approach a 1.0-nm radius, the confinement effects are very pronounced, changing the interfacial tension behavior, as well as viscous flow properties. Also, a water-brine layer always stays adsorbed in the silica surface, mediating its interaction with the oil, even hindering the oil infiltration in a case.
