CPM-9 – 9. International Workshop “Characterization of Porous Materials: from Angstroms to Millimeters”
The CPM International Workshop, chaired by Prof. Alex Neimark (Rutgers University, USA) and Prof. Matthias Thommes (University Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany) took place from May 19 to 21, 2024 in Delray Beach, Florida, USA. Designed to serve as a bridge between academics and industrial scientists, the CPM meeting is the major tri-annual event in the adsorption and porous materials communities that is held in the USA. CPM meetings are distinguished for their high-quality, interdisciplinary program, interactive style of presentations, and vivid discussions. With the participants representing 18 countries from five continents, CPM-9 was one of the central international events in the subject area in 2024.
The CPM-9 program featured 9 invited keynote lectures, 37 oral presentations, and 70 posters, which addressed topical problems in the experimental, theoretical, and simulation methods of characterization of structural, transport, and functional properties of porous materials of various origins.
The group of Prof. Thommes gave three presentations at the CPM-9 conference: Dr. Carlos Cuadrado Collados gave a lecture with the tile: “Quantitative Assessment of Hydrophilicity/Hydrophobicity in Nanoporous Materials” (authors: Carlos Cuadrado Collados, Christoph Huber, Jakob Söllner, Jan-Paul Grass, Alexandra Inayat, Rustam Durdyyev, Ana-Sunčana Smith, Dorothea Wisser, Martin Hartmann, Matthias Thommes).
Carola Schlumberger talked about “Advanced Textural and Surface Chemistry Characterization by Combining Adsorption and Liquid Intrusion with NMR Relaxometry” (authors: Carola Schlumberger, Carlos Cuadrado Collados, Jakob Söllner, Lukas Sandner, Jincheng Xu, Matthias Thommes).
Jakob Söllner presented a poster on the topic “Development and application of an advanced percolation model for pore network characterization by physical adsorption” (authors: Jakob Söllner, Alexander Neimark, Matthias Thommes).
