Polymorphic Forms

Matrix porin, the ompF gene product of E. coli, has been the object of a electron crystallographic study of its pore geometry in an attempt to understand its function as a membrane molecular sieve. Three polymorphic forms have been found for two-dimensional crystals reconstituted in phospholipid, two hexagonal forms with different lipid content and an orthorhombic form coexisting with and similar to the hexagonal form found after lipid loss. In projection these have been shown to retain the same three-fold pore triplet geometry and analyses of three-dimensional data reveal that the small hexagonal and orthorhombic polymorphs have similar structure as well as unit cell spacings.

The main aim of this study was to analyze microtomographic data to determine the geometric dimensions of a ceramic porous material’s internal structure. Samples of a porous corundum biomaterial were the research material. The samples were prepared by chemical foaming and were measured using an X-ray scanner. In the next stage, 3D images of the samples were generated and analyzed using Thermo Scientific Avizo software. The analysis enabled the isolation of individual pores. Then, the parameters characterizing the pore geometry and the porosity of the samples were calculated. The last part of the research consisted of verifying the developed method by comparing the obtained results with the parameters obtained from the microscopic examinations of the biomaterial. The comparison of the results confirmed the correctness of the developed method. The developed methodology can be used to analyze biomaterial samples to assess the geometric dimensions of biomaterial pores.

AbstractBioactive ceramics are promising candidates as 3D porous substrates for bone repair in bone regenerative medicine. However, they are often inefficient in clinical applications due to mismatching mechanical properties and compromised biological performances. Herein, the additional Sr dopant is hypothesized to readily adjust the mechanical and biodegradable properties of the dilute Mg-doped wollastonite bioceramic scaffolds with different pore geometries (cylindrical-, cubic-, gyroid-) by ceramic stereolithography. The results indicate that the compressive strength of Mg/Sr co-doped bioceramic scaffolds could be tuned simultaneously by the Sr dopant and pore geometry. The cylindrical-pore scaffolds exhibit strength decay with increasing Sr content, whereas the gyroid-pore scaffolds show increasing strength and Young’s modulus as the Sr concentration is increased from 0 to 5%. The ion release could also be adjusted by pore geometry in Tris buffer, and the high Sr content may trigger a faster scaffold bio-dissolution. These results demonstrate that the mechanical strengths of the bioceramic scaffolds can be controlled from the point at which their porous structures are designed. Moreover, scaffold bio-dissolution can be tuned by pore geometry and doping foreign ions. It is reasonable to consider the nonstoichiometric bioceramic scaffolds are promising for bone regeneration, especially when dealing with pathological bone defects.

Abstract Carbonate rocks frequently exhibit less predictable seismic attribute–porosity relationships because of complex and heterogeneous pore geometry. Pore geometry plays an important role in carbonate reservoir interpretation, as it influences acoustic and elastic characters. So in porosity prediction of carbonate reservoirs, pore geometry should be considered as a factor. Thus, based on Gassmann’s equation and Eshelby–Walsh ellipsoidal inclusion theory, we introduced a parameter C to stand by pore geometry and then deduced a porosity calculating expression from compressional expression of Gassmann’s equation. In this article, we present a porosity working flow as well as calculate methods of every parameter needed in the porosity inverting equation. From well testing and field application, it proves that the high-accuracy method is suitable for carbonate reservoirs.

We investigate the impact of wettability distribution, pore size distribution and pore geometry on the statistical behaviour of trapping in pore-throat networks during capillary displacement. Through theoretical analyses and numerical simulations, we propose and prove that the trapping patterns, defined as the percentage and distribution of trapped elements, are determined by four dimensionless control parameters. The range of all possible trapping patterns and how the patterns are dependent on the four parameters are obtained. The results help us to understand the impact of wettability and structure on trapping behaviour in disordered media.

This paper describes a structure and electrotransport properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) track membrane (PET TM) modified by plasma of thiophene. It is shown that the deposition of the polymer on the track membrane surface by plasma polymerization of thiophene in case of forming a semipermeable layer results in creation of composite nanomembrane having in electrolyte solutions of asymmetry of conductivity - a rectification effect. It is caused by presence in the membrane of two layers with various functional groups, and also by changing of the pore geometry. Such type membranes can be used for creation of chemical and biochemical sensors.
