Nuclear magnetic resonance is widely used to probe the dynamics of fluids confined in porous media, wherestructural and functional properties of complex systems can be determined. The application includes a large vari-ety of research or industrial areas such as medicine, gas and oil extraction, soil studies, the development of mate-rials for drug delivery, and catalysis, among many other applications. This review covers the use of differentNMR experiments applied to study the liquid/surface interaction, mobility, tortuosity, pore connectivity, and ex-change phenomena in different porous matrixes. This article, included in the special issue devoted to NMR inLatin America, provides a review of the most applied techniques and a summary of different applications carriedout at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba in Argentina.
