A multi-scale study to unravel the dehydration mechanism of hydrated salts
A. C. Claude, H. Derluyn, J. van de Groep +1
Understanding the dehydration mechanism of hydrated salts remains fundamentally important in solid state chemistry, as their behavior affect fields ranging from heat storage to her…
Sol-gel transition by evaporation in porous media
Romane Le Dizès Castell, Leo Pel, Tinhinane Chekai +4
Historical monuments, outdoor stone sculptures and artworks made of porous materials are exposed to chemical and physical degradation over time. Presently, the most promising route…
Metastability limit for the nucleation of NaCl crystals in confinement
Julie Desarnaud, Hannelore Derluyn, Jan Carmeliet +2
We study the spontaneous nucleation and growth of sodium chloride crystals induced by controlled evaporation in confined geometries (microcapillaries) spanning several orders of ma…
