Content

Dear InterPore colleagues,

InterPore2022 has already started online! I have watched the first lecture and asked a question. It is, in fact, about a recently published paper being reported in our InJournals section of this Newsletter, which is how it caught my attention. Although the timing (so close to our hybrid InterPore2022 event) is very fortunate, I believe it still is a nice example of how science communication is quickly advancing in this digital world. Multiple interconnected and parallel lines of communication improve the outreach and facilitate fast and in-depth discussions.

Fear of missing out? You can still join InterPore2022!

All the best,

Matthijs de Winter

Nominations are open to all InterPore members (including members through Institutional Memberships) who are enrolled in porous media activities. You can nominate yourself or others (with their permission!).

Becoming a SAC member brings fun on a global scale and potentially boosts your career, either within the academia or within the industry. Check here the current SAC members.

For nominations, please send the following info to Laura Pyrak-Nolte:

The election will be held in November 2022, and all members of the InterPore community are encouraged to vote. The elected members of the SAC will be publicly announced in the InterPore newsletter. Elected members will be part of the SAC for 4 years. For more information about the SAC activities, you can always send the committee an email.

Two-step diffusion in cellular hygroscopic (vascular plant-like) materials

Marion Cocusse, Matteo Rosales, Benjamin Maillet, Rahima Sidi-Boulenouar, Elisa Julien, Sabine Caré, Philippe Coussot

Image removed.

Vascular plants, a vast group including conifers, flowering plants, etc., are made of a cellular hygroscopic structure containing water in the form of either free (i.e., in a standard liquid state) or bound (i.e., absorbed in the cell walls) water. Using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, we distinguish the dynamics of bound water and free water in a typical material (softwood) with such a structure, under convective drying. We show that water extraction relies on two mechanisms of diffusion in two contiguous regions of the sample, in which respectively the material still contains free water or only contains bound water. However, in any case, the transport is ensured by bound water. This makes it possible to prolong free water storage despite dry external conditions and shows that it is possible to extract free water in depth (or from large heights) without continuity of the free water network.
