Thermoporometry and cryoporometry

Thermoporometry and cryoporometry are specialized techniques used to analyze porous materials, particularly in the study of their pore structures, such as pore size distribution and porosity. ### Thermoporometry Thermoporometry involves the analysis of the freezing and melting behavior of liquids (typically water) in the pores of a material. When a liquid is confined in a small pore, its freezing point can be depressed compared to its bulk freezing point due to the effects of confinement and surface interactions.
