Short Course Schedule
Experts will discuss the wide spectrum of pore structures exhibited by porous materials and the basic scientific principles of the current and advanced pore structure characterization techniques. Advances in instrumentation, design and integration will also be considered. Invited speakers will discuss their experiences with porosity measurements. The course also includes demonstration lectures and hands on experience with instruments in the PMI Laboratory.
