POROMETRY ABOUT US PRODUCTS SERVICE APPLICATIONS CUSTOMERS CONTACT US |
A pore, which can be widely defined as a limited space or spatial confinement, is one of the most ancient concepts. The understanding, design, and manipulation of pores have significantly advanced science and technology, and are playing increasingly important roles in new technologies. According to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), pores are classified into three categories, namely micropore, mesopore, and macropore with pore sizes less than 2 nm, between 2 and 50 nm, and larger than 50 nm, respectively. Porous structures that can be of inorganic, organic, and inorganic–organic composite materials are of scientific and technological importance because of the ability of the pore wall to interact with atoms, ions, molecules and supermolecules, together with the capacity of controllable pore space to load or capture liquid and gas molecules, and solid particles. The tailorable pore size and pore wall surface make porous materials highly attractive in research. The past decade has seen a number of significant breakthroughs in the design and processing of novel porous materials, driven by the rapid growth of emerging applications, such as energy conversion and storage, environmentally friendly catalysis, sensors, tissue engineering, DNA sequencing, drug delivery, medical diagnosis, cell-makers, and photonics. The emergence of such new technological applications requires a higher level of control over the porous properties Applications |
