Seminar - “Thin Porous Materials:Characterization Challenges & Modeling Opportunities” by Jeff Gostick, Department of Chemical Engineering, McGill University
ABSTRACT: Thin porous materials are found in many critical applications such as battery and fuel cell electrodes, wound dressings, filtration membranes, fabrics and paper, to name a few. The standard body of porous media techniques and theories have been developed for rock and soil pertaining to reservoirs and aquifers. Consequently, studying transport processes in thin porous materials generally requires developing new approaches, both experimental and modeling.
