A mean field lattice (MFL) theory has been used to study the adsorption behaviour of nonionic surfactants in hydrophilic cylindrical pores. The theory predicts that with decreasing pore radius the absorbed amount decreases. Moreover, the step in the adsorption isotherm, which is a first-order phase transition in the mean field approximation, shifts to lower concentrations. Both effects have been observed in experiments.
