“…Surface porosity and pore size. Pore size, size distribution and porosity can be estimated by a number of different techniques such as MWCO determination (Kesting, 1971;Jonsson, 1985;Tragard, 1985;Smolders & Vugteveen, 1985;Cheryan, 1986;Hanemaaijer et al, 1988), bubble point/solvent permeability (Kamide & Manabe, 1980;Capannelli et al, 1983;Munari er al., 1985;Zeni et al, 1988) and thermoporometry (Brun et al, 1977;Smolders & Vugteveen, 1985;Zeman et al, 1987;Quinson & Brun, 1988). However, most techniques rely upon analysis of indirect data.…”
