This review highlights recent advances in X-ray microcomputed tomography (microCT) as
applied to materials, specifically advances made since the first materials microCT review …

Contaminant hydrogeological processes occurring in porous media are typically not
amenable to direct observation. As a result, indirect measurements (eg, contaminant …

MicroComputed Tomography has become the gold standard for studying 3D microscopic
structures nondestructively, and this book provides up-to-date coverage of the modality. The …

Tortuosity, as being influenced by the 3D pore micro-geometry, is an important physical
quantity to understand better the effect of pore structure on transport properties of cement …

Clay-rich sedimentary rocks are considered as seal lithologies for hosting radioactive waste
or as caprocks for geological carbon sequestration sites. Evaluation of the rock's sealing …

The use of X-ray microtomographic (XMT) methods in analysing particulate systems has
expanded rapidly in recent years with the availability of affordable desk-top apparatus. This …

Understanding of the transport properties of porous rocks is important for safe nuclear waste
disposal because harmful contaminated groundwater can migrate along pore spaces over …

Deteriorated mortars and cement pastes (w/c= 0.50) were prepared by an accelerated
leaching test using electrochemical migration technique. This technique enabled the …

The evaluation and optimization of radioactive disposal systems requires a comprehensive
understanding of mass transport processes. Among others, mass transport in porous …

Aside from porosity, the degree of pore connectivity and tortuosity are important pore
structure characteristics of cement-based materials to understand better the effect of …
