Structure-property relationships in porous bio-based materials
Using X-ray micro computed tomography (X-µCT), a relatively new technique used in advanced materials research, we are developing sophisticated methods to visualize and characterize the complex, internal and surface three-dimensional structure of porous materials. These provide a non-intrusive tool to quantify the structural details such as porosity, interfacial area, tortuosity, pore size distribution, structural anisotrophy etc.
