Recently the concept of hierarchical zeolites invoked more explicit attention to enhanced accessibility of zeolites. By realizing additional meso-/macroporosity with the intrinsic microporosity of zeolites, a hierarchical pore system arises which facilitates mass transport while maintaining the zeolite shape selectivity. A great number of synthesis strategies have been developed for tailoring t...

Hierarchically porous materials displaying multimodal pore sizes are desirable for their improved flow performance coupled with high surface areas. In the last five years, a tremendous amount of research has focused upon the synthesis and applications of hierarchically porous materials. This review aims to open up a new avenue of research in this exciting field. At first, recent progress in the...

Following the adoption of zero-tillage (ZT) from conventional tillage (CT), soil pore network undergoes immediate and significant changes. As remains undisturbed for an extended period, a structure emerges that is primarily generated stabilised by both biotic abiotic processes. There limited understanding concerning how ZT influences porous architecture associated hydraulic properties, specific...

Calcium oxalate phytoliths are one of the most prominent types Ca speciation in plant kingdom, and they store extensive amounts carbon crystalline form. were investigated root, trunk, bark Vitis vinifera Chasselas from a vineyard Alsace, France. A multi-analytical approach was used, which included SEM coupled with EDX spectroscopy, XRD, XRF, TGA, 13C-NMR spectroscopy. These techniques revealed ...

In no-tillage systems, soil compaction has caused negative impacts on crop productivity and quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physical quality after different crops second season: maize, sorghum, millet in compacted uncompacted soils, addition evaluating performance soybean succession Rhodic Ferralsol under (NT) Brazilian Cerrado biome. A field experiment conducted during...

The purpose of this study was to fabricate and investigate the highly porous structure using titanium dioxide, which is a candidate for bone defect repairing. For this purpose, TiO2 scaffolds were synthesized using titanium butoxide, Pluronic F127 surfactant, and polyurethane foam blocks. Therefore, a colloid includes titanium butoxide and F127 and the polyurethane foams were immersed in it. Th...

Catalysed diesel particulate filter (DPF) monoliths are hierarchical porous solids, as demonstrated by mercury porosimetry. Establishing structure-transport relationships, including assessing the general accessibility of catalyst, is challenging, and, thus, a comprehensive approach necessary. Contributions, from each porosity level, to transport have been established using hyperpolarised (hp) x...

A comprehensive understanding of the water and air permeability soil is necessary for modelling transport properties which depend on structure. We aimed to evaluate suitability image analysis estimate gas liquid in using resin-impregnated blocks. The texture, TOC, density, porosity, capacity (VV), (logAP), saturated hydraulic conductivity (logKS) a Cambisol developed from loess were measured. T...

This is a comprehensive study reporting the fabrication of highly porous Gehlenite scaffold (Ca2Al2SiO7)—both with and without surface modification—for first time. The sintering temperature scaffolds was optimized. Next, optimized coated by polycaprolactone (PCL)-Forsterite (Mg2SiO4) nanocomposite to improve scaffold’s brittleness biological properties. 1375 °C found be which consolidated. Diff...

Abstract Magnesium phosphate-based cements (MPCs) have recently attracted great attention as materials for bone repair. However, the lack of macroporosity, fundamental cells permeation and ingrowth, is one main limitations hampering MPCs full exploitation. In this work gelatin microparticles are exploited templating agents creation macroporosities in MPCs. addition, particles were loaded with a...
