Porous materials 1 Porous materials Classically porous materials are organic materials, polymeric foams… A large number of inorganic porous materials have been developed, e.g. for insulation, cushioning, impact protection, catalysis, membranes, construction materials… • Materials with different pore sizes (from nanometer to millimeter) • Ordered or irregular arrangement of pores • Various chemical compositions (metal, oxides…) • Different preparative approaches. 2 Porosity Porous: Contain pores (cavities, channels, interstices) which are deeper than they are wide. Either describe the pores, or describe the cell/pore walls Accessibility: a: closed pores b,c,d,e,f: open pores b, f: blind pores (dead-end or saccate) e: through pores Shape: c:Cylindrical open f:Cylindrical blind b: ink-bottle-shaped d: funnel shaped g: roughness 3 Some definitions 4 Measuring porosity The measured value depends on the method. Some detects only open pores, e.g. adsorption of molecules.
