We present results from experiments and molecular modeling of mercury porosimetry into mesoporous Vycor and controlled pore glass (CPG) solid materials. The experimental intrusion/extrusion curves show a transition from a type H2 hysteresis for the Vycor glass to a type H1 hysteresis for the CPG. Mercury entrapment is observed in both materials, but we find that the amount of entrapped mercury depends on the chosen experimental relaxation time. No additional entrapment is found in a second intrusion/extrusion cycle, but hysteresis is still observed. This indicates that hysteresis and entrapment are of different origin. The experimental observations are qualitatively reproduced in theoretical calculations based on lattice models, which provide significant insights of the molecular mechanisms occurring during mercury porosimetry experiments in these porous glasses.
