Understanding the porous characteristics of solid materials is often of critical importance throughout geological and construction industries. Porosity directly determines the behaviour between a material and a fluid media: this includes fluid flow through a sample, fluid retention, drying and curing properties, degradation characteristics and adhesion properties. The porosity of geological materials is of great importance across disciplines of hydro-geology, petrology, environmental engineering and geo- chemistry. Pore sizes can vary enormously: larger pores have a greater interaction with fluid media whilst smaller pores are of particular importance to gaseous permittivity, retention and storage. Understanding porosity within small pores is, therefore, of critical importance to sectors concerned with both conventional and un-conventional energy and net-zero technologies. The interaction of fluids with construction materials is significant throughout their life-cycle, from drying and curing characteristics of concretes and coatings to through the aging process - ultimately influencing their life-time and degradation characteristics. The porosity of the constituent powder materials or powder blend heavily influences the usage and performance characteristics of the materials, for example drying times, shelf life and adhesion qualities.
MCA Services offers a complete suite of techniques for the characterisation of material porosity throughout the ranges of micropores, through mesopores and macropores. We also have extensive experience and expertise to actively assist with the interpretation of results, relating porous characteristics to the sample material and its ultimate application. Combined with state-of-the-art instrumentation and software, offering flexible and extensive reporting options, we help to maximise the amount of high quality data describing sample materials.
