Multifunctional Porous Materials: Preparation, Structure, Modeling and Applications

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Porous materials and functional porous composites demonstrate ubiquitous applications in the fields of thermal insulation, cushioning, soundproofing, wave absorption, separation, EMI shielding and many other industrial sectors that benefit from lightweightness and some other properties. The performance of porous products is primarily determined by the matrix type, fillers, porosity, pore size and the micro/nanostructure that formed during preparation. The methods for preparing porous materials include free foaming, constrained foaming, supercritical fluid foaming, foam injection molding, batch foaming, extrusion foaming, 3D printing as well as freeze-drying, etc. This Special Issue provides a forum for the discussion of the preparation, performance and modeling of multifunctional porous materials, with a focus on state-of-the-art progress, developments, and new trends. Perspectives, review articles, full papers, short communications, and technical papers on this topic are welcome.

In order to meet the needs of low-impact development and sustainable development, there is an urgent desire to develop an innovative recycled aggregate pervious concrete (I-RAPC) that is of high strength and permeability. In this study, I-RAPC was prepared based on response surface methodology (RSM) using recycled aggregate, river sand, and different types of pipes as the materials, and the effects of different pipe parameters (number, diameter, material, and distribution form) on the performance of I-RAPC were investigated. In addition, the calculation model of the compressive strength and the permeability coefficient of I-RAPC were proposed. The results showed that the frontal- and lateral-compressive strengths of I-RAPC were 39.8 MPa and 42.5 MPa, respectively, when the pipe material was acrylic, the position was 1EM, and the diameter was 10 mm—at which time the permeability coefficient was 3.02 mm/s, which was the highest in this study. The maximum relative errors of the compressive strength calculation model and the permeability coefficient calculation model were only 7.52% and 4.42%, respectively, as shown by the post hoc test. Therefore, I-RAPC has the advantages of high strength and permeability and is expected to be applied in low-impact development in cities with heavy surface sediment content and rainfall.

While Ising criticality in classical liquids has been firmly established both theoretically and experimentally, much less is known about criticality in liquids in which the growth of the correlation length is frustrated by finite-size effects. A theoretical approach for dealing with this issue is the random-field Ising model (RFIM). While experimental critical-exponent values have been reported for magnetic samples (here, we consider $\gamma$, $\nu$ and $\eta$), little experimental information is available for critical fluctuations in corresponding liquid systems. In this paper, we present a study on a binary liquid consisting of 3-methyl pyridine and heavy water in a very light-weight porous gel. We find that the experimental results are in agreement with the theoretical predictions from the RFIM. Full article
