Computational pore-scale network models describe two-phase porous media ̄ow systems by resolving individual interfaces at the pore scale, and tracking these interfaces through the pore network. Coupled with volume averaging techniques, these models can reproduce relationships between measured variables like capillary pressure, saturation, and relative permeability. In addition, these models all...

Porous CdSe layers have been produced by anodic etching of crystalline substrates in a HCl solution. Anodization under in situ UV illumination resulted in the formation of uniformly distributed parallel pores with a diameter of 30 nm, stretching perpendicularly to the initial surface. At the same time, pronounced nonuniformities in the spatial distribution of pores were evidenced in samples sub...

The structure and transport properties of drying water clusters in porous media have been studied with a site-bond invasion percolation (IP) model. In this model an invader (air) enters a lattice (porous network) filled with defender (water) via a sequence of invasion steps. The decision to invade a site (pore) is made on the basis of the resistance of the bonds (throats). It is found that the ...

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a biocompatible hydrogel with a three-dimensional (3-D) structure formed by a dense network of cellulose nanofibers. A limitation of using BC for applications in tissue engineering is that the pore size of the material (∼0.02-10μm) is smaller than the dimensions of mammalian cells and prevents cells from penetrating into the material and growing into 3-D structures t...

Optimization and characterization of porous materials have been extensively studied by various surface phenomena researchers. Efficient methods are required to predict the optimum values of operating parameters in different stages of material preparation and characterization processes. A novel method based on the application of a special class of radial basis function neural network known as Re...

Porous sulfur-doped carbon was synthesised by using a thienyl-based polymer network as a precursor. The sulfur amount varies from 5-23 m% while the materials show microporosity with BET surface areas of up to 711 m(2) g(-1).
