Effect of polyHIPE porosity on its hydrodynamic properties

Several polymerized high internal phase emulsions (polyHIPE) of various porosity but the same pore diameter were prepared. It was demonstrated that the pore size distribution of void pores and interconnecting pores is similar and it can be described by a log-normal distribution. Flow-through porosit...
