Macromolecular porosimetry

A new method for the determination of pore size distribution in porous materials has been developed. The method is based on measuring the probability of solubilized macromolecules to penetrate the pore space of a solid substrate. In the absence of any interaction between the macromolecules and the m...

Description
Summary:A new method for the determination of pore size distribution in porous materials has been developed. The method is based on measuring the probability of solubilized macromolecules to penetrate the pore space of a solid substrate. In the absence of any interaction between the macromolecules and the matrix of the porous material, the value of the probability is determined only by ratio of sizes of the macromolecules and the pores. A special software package was developed for slit, cylindrical, and mixed pores.
