Paper is a composite consisted of various solid materials including pulp, filler and other additives. The pore is also one of components consisting the paper structure. Thus the characterization of pore structure of paper is very helpful in the understanding the structural properties of paper. Mercury intrusion technique is frequently used for the characterization of the porous paper, giving access to parameters such as pore size and pore distribution. But some researchers pointed out the problem that the distortion of the pore structure can be occurred by the application of high pressure during mercury intrusion. Thus in this study, we tried to evaluate the potential of SEM and image analysis method as means for analyzing pore structure of the paper. The new pore analysis technique with SEM and image analysis does not require the application of high pressure, and gave better relation between the measured pore characteristics and the bulk of sheet than mercury intrusion method.

The Hertzian indentation contact damage behavior of porous alumina with controlled pore shape was investigated by experiments. Porous alumina ceramics containing well-defined pore shape, size and distribution were prepared by incorporation of fugitive spherical starch. Porous alumina with isolated pore structure was prepared with porosity range up to 30%. The indentation stress-strain curves of porous alumina were constructed. Elastic modulus and yield stress can be obtained from the stress-strain relationship. Impulse excitation method for the measurement of elastic modulus was also conducted as well as Hertzian indentation and was confirmed as a useful tool to evaluate the elasticity of highly porous ceramics. Elastic modulus of the inter-connected pore structure is more sensitive to porosity than that of the isolated pore structure. When the specimen had isolated pore structure, higher yield point was obtained than it had inter-connected pore structure. This study proposed that the elastic modiulus of porous ceramics is strongly related to not only porosity, but also the structure of pore.

AUC공정으로 제조된 $UO_2$분말을 사용하여 소결체를 제조하여 미세 조직과 기공특성에 대하여 시험하였다. 개기공은 소결밀도 증가에 따라서 감소하였으며, 소결밀도 10.45 g/㎤ 이상에서는 거의 소멸하였다. 3$\mu$m보다 작은 크기의 둥근 기공이 모든 밀도에서 나타났고 낮은 밀도에서는 이것외에도 긴 기공이 관찰되었다. 같은 크기의 기공일지라도 밀도가 낮아지면 기공이 더욱 길게 나타났다. 기공크기에 따른 기공 면적의 분포는 mono 모우드이고, 2~3$\mu$m 기공크기에서 최대치를 보이는 분포를 보였다. 또한 밀도가 감소할수록 큰 기공에 관련된 면적이 증가하였다.

암석에서의 풍화 및 투수성은 방사성폐기물 지하동굴처분 및 암반구조물의 안정성 확보 및 장기적 관리측면에서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 이들 암석의 풍화 및 투수성은 암석의 내 구조 특성에 따라 크게 영향을 받는다. 즉 암석 내부의 공극, 미소 크랙 등의 양적 정도에 의해 풍화가 빨리 진행되기도 한다. 또한 암석 내부구조의 양적 평가는 그 암석의 풍화 정도를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 수단이 되기도 한다. 따라서 암석의 내부구조를 3치원적으로 정확하게 파악한다는 것은 암반구조물의 장기적 관리 측면에서 매우 중요하다고 하겠다. 이 연구는 국내 신선한 화강암과 풍화된 화강암을 대상으로 X선 CT촬영을 실시하여 3차원으로 공극의 분포를 분석하였다. 분석 결과는 암석 내부의 공극의 분포와 공극률을 잘 표현하고 있다.

The performance of membranes is governed their pore struture. Pore structures of porous materials can be determined by a number of techniques. However, The novel technique, capillary folw porometry has a number of advantages. In this technique, the sample is brought in contact with a liquid that fills the pores in the membrane spontaneously. Gas under pressure is used to force the liquid from the pores and increase gas flow. Gas flow rate measured as a function of gas pressure in wet and dry samples yield data on the largest pore size, the mean flow pore size, flow distribution and permeability. Pore characteristics of a number of membranes were measured using this technique. This technique did not require the use of any toxic material and the pressure employed was low. Capillary flow porometry is a suitable technique for measurement of the pore structure of many membranes.

An image analysis program with the function of measuring various quantitative characteristics in the transverse surface of wood was developed using Delphi 2.0. Data on pore characteristics (conditions for image processing, proportion of pores in relationship to other elements, tangential diameter, area, tangential and radial diameter, x and y coordinates of pore center, and geometric coefficients) were saved in text file format. In addition, the pore area histogram in the tangential and radial directions was saved as a BMP (bitmap) type file. Analyses indicated that quantitative characteristics such as the relative radial distribution of pores in a growth ring, pore tangential area histogram, and proportion of pore in lumen area appear to be useful in separating four diffuse-porous woods and four ring-porous woods on the species level.

Paper is composed network of fibers. Since paper is plain, most cases paper is considered two-dimensional. But network of fibers creates a network of pores, and pores between fibers are most important part of the paper structure. So we have to make an approach to the paper by three-dimensionally. Pore structure in the Z-direction of the paper can affect directly not only basic properties od the paper such as density, porosity, opacity and strength but also coverage of the coating colors during coatong and printing properties. We studied effect of raw materials of the papermaking and physical treatment on the pore structure and properties of the paper.

Porous ceramics are widely used for applications such as catalysis supports, gas distributors and filters such as DPF. For these purpose, it is important to have proper porosity controlling pore structure while maintaining mechanical and thermal properties. In this work, we have prepared the porous ceramic structures made of reaction bonded silicon nitride with hierarchical pore structures. Uni-directionally aligned pore channels, which are mostly filled with ${\beta}$-Si3N4 whiskers, were achieved by an ice-templating method. The structures of the pore channels and the walls are controllable by the processing conditions, such as solid concentration, freezing rate of the slurry, and additives. We have investigated and characterized the influences of the conditions on the microstructures and the properties, such as porosity, pore size distribution, lamellar thickness, wavelength, and orientations. The compressive strength test and flow test was performed to determine the structural integrity and air permeability.

In a hardened concrete, diffusion of oxygen, carbon dioxide, aggressive ions, and moisture from the environment to the concrete takes place through the pore network. It is well known that making dense cement matrix enhances the durability of concrete as well as all the characteristics including strength of concrete. In this paper,9 mix concretes with water to cementitious material ratio (40,45, and $50\%$) and replacement ratio of GGBFS (40 and $60\%$ of cement by weight) were studied on the micro-pore structure by mercury intrusion porosimetry and the accelerated chloride diffusion test by potential difference. From the results the average pore diameter and accelerated chloride diffusivity of concrete were ordered NPC > G4C > G6C. It is concluded that there is a good correlation between the average pore diameter and the chloride diffusivity, and the mineral admixtures has a filling effect, which increases the tortuosity of pore and makes large pores finer, on the pore structure of cement matrix due to the latent hydraulic reaction with hydrates of cement.

비전통(unconventional) 에너지 자원 중 최근 각광받고 있는 셰일 가스의 회수율을 높이기 위해서는 저류층의 공극 구조 연구가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 대면적으로 입자나 형상 분포를 확인 할 수 있도록 개발된 분석 장치인 대면적 자동화 입자 분석 시스템(Scanning Electron Microscope Particle Analysis, SELPA)을 활용하여 셰일 가스 저류층 시료의 공극 분포를 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서는 리아드 분지에서 시추된 A-068 시추공 시료 중 방해석이 주 구성 광물인 시료를 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. SELPA를 이용하여 시료 내 수십 나노에서 수백 마이크로미터 크기의 공극을 관찰하였고 각 공극의 크기 별 비율을 확인하였다. 같은 영역의 표면을 대상으로 각각 1000배, 3000배, 5000배의 배율로 이미지를 관찰하여 공극의 분포를 확인한 결과 최소 3000배 이상의 배율에서 관찰해야 100 nm 이하의 공극까지 관찰되어 작은 스케일의 공극 분포까지 분석할 수 있는 것이 확인되었다. 본 연구에서 소개된 방법론을 통해 셰일 가스 저류층을 포함한 비전통 자원의 저류층 내공극의 분포를 단시간에 파악할 수 있는 방법론이 확인되었으며 향후 비전통 저류층 내 공극 구조 파악에 활용할 수 있을 것이 기대된다.
