INTERNATIONAL UNION OF PURE AND APPLIED CHEMISTRY PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY DIVISION COMMISSION ON COLLOID AND SURFACE CHEMISTRY* Subcommittee on Characterization of Porous Solids RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION OF POROUS SOLIDS

چکیده
These recommendations aim to be a tool for the selection and appraisal of the methods of characterization of porous solids, and to also give the warnings and guidelines on which the experts generally agree. For this purpose, they successively consider the description of a porous solid (definitions, terminology), the principal methods available (stereology , radiation scattering, pycnometry, adsorption, intrusion, suction, maximum buble pressure, fluid flow, immersion or adsorption calorimetry, thermoporometry , size exclusion chromatography, Xenon NMR and ultrasonic methods) and finally the general principles which are worth being followed in the selection of the appropriate method.

Effect of surface properties on the electrorheological response of hematite/silicone oil dispersions.
In this work we present an investigation of the influence of particle surface characteristics on the electrorheological (ER) behavior of suspensions of either pure or modified hematite (α-Fe(2)O(3)) particles dispersed in silicone oil. The modification consisted of either dehydration or hydrophobization of the particles before preparing the suspensions. A comparison was performed between the el...
متن کاملHighly Defined, Colloid-Like Ionic Clusters in Solution
Many societal challenges at the beginning of the 21st century lead to an apparent and growing need for functional materials and novel ways of materials synthesis and assembly. Rising to the challenge, the utilization of small, self-assembling building blocks for the bottom-up construction of new types of polymers and nanostructures has enjoyed increasing popularity among materials researchers i...
متن کاملLayer-by-layer Deposition of Organically Capped Quantum Dots
Cadmium chalcogenide quantum dots (QD’s) were synthesised using a single source approach while zinc oxide QD’s were obtained by a colloidal technique. In both situations the dots were surface capped with tri-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) hence leading to nanodispersed systems in organic solvents such as toluene. The organically capped QD’s (CdSe, CdS and ZnO) were used as building-units to fabric...
متن کاملSingle-Walled Carbon Nanotube AFM Probes: Optimal Imaging Resolution of Nanoclusters and Biomolecules in Ambient and Fluid Environments
Carbon nanotubes are potentially ideal atomic force microscopy (AFM) probes due to their well-defined geometry, robust mechanical properties, and in the case of single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs), diameters approaching the size of small organic molecules. Here we elucidate fundamental factors that determine AFM imaging resolution using a combination of experiments with well-characterized SWNT prob...
متن کاملImaging intracellular and systemic in vivo gold nanoparticles to enhance radiotherapy
Nanoparticles offer alternative options in cancer therapy both as drug delivery carriers and as direct therapeutic agents for cancer cell inactivation. More recently, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have emerged as promising radiosensitizers achieving significantly elevated radiation dose enhancement factors when irradiated with both kilo-electron-volt and mega-electronvolt X-rays. Use of AuNPs in r...
