Abstract:
A new procedure for determining the structural heterogeneity of microporous solids is presented. Applying the concept of a general adsorption isotherm equation, a method for solving this equation for adsorption in micropores is developed, and the applicability of a new simple algorithm for determining the parameters of microporous structure of two commercial carbons is shown.

01:23Pore Size Distribution
In concrete, the pore size distribution significantly influences the material's properties. Capillary pores, markedly larger than gel pores, form a vast network within partially hydrated cement paste, reducing the concrete's strength and increasing its permeability. This heightened permeability leads to a greater risk of damage from environmental factors like freeze-thaw cycles and chemical attacks, with the extent of vulnerability also being tied to the water-to-cement ratio.

01:27Determination of Molar Masses of Polymers II
Polymer samples typically consist of macromolecular chains with a distribution of lengths, resulting in a range of molar masses rather than a single discrete value. Conventional descriptors such as the number-average molar mass and weight-average molar mass quantify this distribution but do not fully capture polymer behavior in solution..The viscosity-average molar mass provides a more realistic description of polymer behavior in solution because it accounts for the enhanced contribution of...
