Breakthrough in Macropore Analysis: Galinstan as an eco-friendly, nonhazardous alternative to mercury in liquid intrusion porosimetry
The characterization of macroporous structures is of great importance for optimizing catalysts and their supports, assessing the textural properties of adsorbents, ceramics, polymers, membranes, geological materials, and hence is key analytical technique in many industrial applications. For this, mercury intrusion/extrusion porosimetry has been up to now considered the most useful available standard method as it […]The characterization of macroporous structures is of great importance for optimizing catalysts and their supports, assessing the textural properties of adsorbents, ceramics, polymers, membranes, geological materials, and hence is key analytical technique in many industrial applications.
