Confined systems usually contain an additional component in the system, such as a hard surface etc. Such systems are very interesting because confinement can often result in profound changes on the phase diagram of the confined liquid with respect to the bulk phase behaviour. Here the term confined is used rather loosely; indicating that the material has some for of geometry other than that of a bulk liquid, i.e. there is some sort of interface present.
