Tiivistelmä
Thermoporometry is a relatively new method of characterising porous properties of nanostructured materials based on observation of solid-liquid phase transitions of materials confined in pores. It provides several advantages over the conventional characterisation methods, mercury porosimetry and gas sorption. The advantages include possibility of using short measurement times, non-toxic chemicals and wet samples. In addition, complicated sample preparation and specialised instruments are not required. Therefore, it has a great potential of becoming a widely utilised characterisation method, although its potential has not yet been widely realised. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in research activities regarding the method. In the second part of the review, results and conclusions of the recent studies about thermoporometry are surveyed and discussed focusing on the application of thermoporometry in extracting various structural information from the porous materials.
