Micromeritics NLDFT carbon nanotube characterisation models

Micromeritics maintains its scientific commitment to innovation in the area of gas adsorption technologies by introducing a series of six new NLDFT models. Four models provide researchers with additional options for characterising single-wall or multi-wall carbon nanotubes.

These new models allow nanotubes to be characterised with NLDFT for argon adsorption isotherms at 87 K or nitrogen adsorption isotherms at 77 K. Two additional zeolite characterisation models for argon adsorption isotherms are measured at 77 K. These new kernels allow for characterisation of zeolites with either hydrogen/ammonium cations or zeolites with alkaline metal (Na, Ca, K, etc) cations.

For more than two decades, Micromeritics has provided software enabling users to routinely analyse experimental adsorption isotherms to characterise porous materials using methods based on modern theoretical physical chemistry. The scientific and modelling contributions of J Jagiello, JP Olivier and WB Conklin have allowed Micromeritics to provide its users with the largest DFT/NLDFT library commercially available.
