Am. Brenner et al., POROSITY BY SMALL-ANGLE X-RAY-SCATTERING (SAXS) - COMPARISON WITH RESULTS FROM MERCURY PENETRATION AND NITROGEN ADSORPTION, Journal of non-crystalline solids, 185(1-2), 1995, pp. 73-77
For several materials showing type-IV nitrogen adsorption behavior, th
e scatterer size distribution calculated from small-angle X-ray scatte
ring (SAXS) data are shown to be consistent with pore size distributio
ns (POSDS) calculated from nitrogen adsorption, over the range of pore
radii from 2.0 to 20 nm. However, since neither pores nor particles a
re present as a dilute phase, it is not possible to assign unambiguous
ly the SAXS distribution to either pores or particles.
