abstract = {We comparatively analyzed imbibition of polystyrene (PS)
into two complementary pore models having pore diameters of
∼380 nm and hydroxyl-terminated inorganic-oxidic pore
walls, controlled porous glass (CPG) and self-ordered porous
alumina (AAO), by X-ray computed tomography and EDX
spectroscopy. CPG contains continuous spongy-tortuous pore
systems. AAO containing arrays of isolated straight
cylindrical pores is a reference pore model with a
tortuosity close to 1. Comparative evaluation of the
spatiotemporal imbibition front evolution yields important
information on the pore morphology of a probed tortuous
matrix like CPG and on the imbibition mechanism. To this
end, pixel brightness dispersions in tomographic 3D
reconstructions and 2D EDX maps of infiltrated AAO and CPG
samples were condensed into 1D brightness dispersion
profiles normal to the membrane surfaces. Their statistical
analysis yielded positions and widths of the imbibition
fronts without segmentation or determination of pore
positions. The retardation of the imbibition front movement
with respect to AAO reference samples may be used as a
descriptor for the tortuosity of a tested porous matrix. The
velocity of the imbibition front movements in CPG equaled
two-thirds of the velocity of the imbibition front movements
in AAO. Moreover, the dynamics of the imbibition front
broadening discloses whether porous matrices are dominated
by cylindrical neck-like pore segments or by nodes.
Independent single-meniscus movements in cylindrical AAO
pores result in faster imbibition front broadening than in
CPG, in which a morphology dominated by nodes results in
slower cooperative imbibition front movements involving
several menisci. The results presented here may be relevant
to applications including printing and adhesive bonding, as
well as to the optimization of production and properties of
engineering, construction, and hybrid materials.},
