Relationships between specific surface area and pore size in electrospun polymer fibre networks.
From consideration of the extent of contact between fibres in electrospun polymer networks, we provide theory relating the specific surface area of the network to the characteristic dimensions of interfibre voids. We show that these properties are strongly influenced by the cross-sectional morphologies of fibres. Whereas porosity has a strong influence on pore dimensions, in the range of porosi...
متن کاملFunctionality in Electrospun Nanofibrous Membranes Based on Fiber's Size, Surface Area, and Molecular Orientation
Electrospinning is a versatile method for forming continuous thin fibers based on an electrohydrodynamic process. This method has the following advantages: (i) the ability to produce thin fibers with diameters in the micrometer and nanometer ranges; (ii) one-step forming of the two- or three-dimensional nanofiber network assemblies (nanofibrous membranes); and (iii) applicability for a broad sp...
متن کاملUnderstanding Relationships Between NMR and Pore Size Distributions in Porous Media
Conventional wisdom for NMR interpretations of water-saturated porous media is that the NMR spectra are analogous to the pore size distribution of the system. This is the basis for understanding porous media as containing large vs. small pores, and is used as a justification for NMR-based permeability correlations. However, there are cases whereby issues of poor connectivity between pores can s...
متن کاملSize and Scaling in Ideal Polymer Networks
The scattering function and radius of gyration of an ideal polymer network are calculated depending on the strength of the bonds that form the crosslinks. Our calculations are based on an exact theorem for the characteristic function of a polydisperse phantom network that allows for treating the crosslinks between pairs of randomly selected monomers as quenched variables without resorting to re...
متن کاملMoving to 3D: relationships between coral planar area, surface area and volume
Coral reefs are a valuable and vulnerable marine ecosystem. The structure of coral reefs influences their health and ability to fulfill ecosystem functions and services. However, monitoring reef corals largely relies on 1D or 2D estimates of coral cover and abundance that overlook change in ecologically significant aspects of the reefs because they do not incorporate vertical or volumetric info...
