Coupling between adsorption and mechanics (and vice versa)

Adsorption can deform porous solids, and mechanical stresses or strains can impact the adsorption process: this mini-review is dedicated to this coupling. After introducing some frameworks used to predict adsorption-induced strains, the question of how important it is to take into account the impact of mechanics on the adsorption process is addressed. Finally, some specific complexities (e.g. of the microstructure, or of the mechanical behavior of the adsorbent) that the community aims at integrating into the prediction of adsorption-induced strains are addressed.
