How Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry Measures Pore Size
Pore structure plays a fundamental role in determining the performance of many materials. Manufacturers often evaluate pore size when developing pharmaceuticals, catalysts, ceramics, filtration media, construction materials, and advanced industrial products. The distribution and volume of pores can
Going, Going, Gone… Or Not?
When you send material to PTL for analysis, do you need your samples back? Perhaps they are difficult to produce, expensive, or highly proprietary. While we are always happy to send back any untested samples, we can’t always
Lights, Camera, Surface Area!
So, you have a sample and you really want to show it off. You know you want surface area information, but what kind? How much surface area does it have? Does it have pores? If so, how big
Through-Pore Galore: Face Masks, Filters, and More!
You don’t have to be a scientist to appreciate the importance of filtration in our world today. Face masks and air filtration systems have been employed for protection against a pathogen in a pandemic and against harmful particulates
What Is Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry and When Is It Used?
You need to characterize the pore structure of your product, but you’re unsure of how best to do so. You’ve done your research and found a technique called Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP) but it’s unclear if this is
