This paper reports on the recent development of a physico-chemical model for the water retention characteristic of porous media and its application to the prediction of water vapour sorption isotherm of cementitious materials. This research aims to d... Read More about A physico-chemical model of the water vapour sorption isotherm of hardened cementitious materials.

Low frequency sound propagation in activated carbon (2012)
Journal Article
Bechwati, F., Avis, M., Bull, D., Cox, T., Hargreaves, J., Moser, D., …Venegas, R. (2012). Low frequency sound propagation in activated carbon. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4725761

Activated carbon can adsorb and desorb gas molecules onto and off its surface. Research has examined whether this sorption affects low frequency sound waves, with pressures typical of audible sound, interacting with granular activated carbon. Imped...

The use of small angle neutron scattering with contrast matching and variable adsorbate partial pressures in the study of porosity in activated carbons (2012)
Journal Article
Mileeva, Z., Ross, K., Wilkinson, D., King, S., Ryan, T., & Sharrock, H. (2012). The use of small angle neutron scattering with contrast matching and variable adsorbate partial pressures in the study of porosity in activated carbons. Carbon, 50, 5062-5075. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbon.2012.06.046

The porosity of a typical activated carbon is investigated with small angle neutron scattering (SANS), using the contrast matching technique, by changing the hydrogen/deuterium content of the absorbed liquid (toluene) to extract the carbon density at...
