Workshop on Aerogels Characterization and Modelling

Welcome

The Workshop on Aerogels Characterization and Modelling will be held on 29-31 March 2023, in Debrecen, Hungary. The conference is organized by the AERoGELS COST Action and hosted by the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Debrecen.

Aims and Scope

Aerogels are widely known as nanostructured porous ultra-light solid materials comprising mostly of air. The characterization, as well as modelling and simulation of porous nanostructured materials, is essential in understanding their operation mechanism in a wide range of applications. The scope of the workshop is the fundamental and applied characterization and modelling of porous materials in the broadest sense, from molecular spectroscopy to surface analytical techniques, from calculations on the atomic level to process modelling.

Topics of Interest

Participants are invited to submit high-quality research works on several topics of interest, which include, but are not restricted to, the following areas:

• Surface characterization of porous materials
• Chemical characterization of porous materials
• Characterization method development
• Theoretical aspects of materials characterization
• Relationship between structure of porous materials and their properties
• Structural models of porous materials
• Modelling of physical and chemical processes in porous materials
• Modelling and simulation of the formation of porous materials
• Industrial process optimization
