Nanoporous materials have an enormous technological importance in many different industries, both traditional and advanced. New technologies require new materials, which are being produced in thousands of laboratories worldwide. The methods for characterising these materials are slow and expensive. A new suite of measurements will be developed, based on acoustic methods, that is rapid and relatively inexpensive. It will not only give parameters such as particle size, porosity and pore size, which are complementary to existing methods, but also important new information about charge and conductivity that is not presently available.Read moreRead less
