PROJECT OBJECTIVES
INSIDE-PORES
mission is “to develop
methodologies
for the
in-situ
application of both static and dynamic techniques and their combinations as a tool to probe the
evolution of properties
, which are relevant to specific processes that involve nanoporous solids, to greatly contribute to the extensive distribution of the relevant scientific knowledge and for INSIDE-PORES to become a focal point for scientists and technicians working in the field of porous materials”
