Reflects the current state of studies of water properties in dispersed materials and porous bodies (natural dispersed systems, chemical products, biological objects). The study of the structure and properties of water in thin layers, films and pores is of great application (in the production of adsorbents, catalysts, fillers for composite materials, the creation of stabilizers for drilling fluids; to control flotation and capillary impregnation, as well as rock strength and structure formation processes in porous bodies). For scientific and engineering workers of various industries, as well as teachers, graduate students and students specializing in chemical technology, physical and colloidal chemistry.
