This conference brings together researchers from the diverse field of porous materials, fostering collaboration across the many scales of their study and application. We aim to encourage the cross-fertilisation of ideas, methodologies, and potential applications while showcasing advances in fields including renewable energy, gas separation, catalysis, water treatment, electronics, and healthcare.

Registration closes Tuesday 2 September at 5pm.

Call for abstracts

We welcome oral and poster presentations covering a broad range of topics that reflect the different scales of study, use, and porosity in porous materials research. The themes include:

1. Scales and porosity: encompassing microporosity, mesoporosity, macroporosity, and hierarchically porous structures
2. Scales of study: ranging from molecular-level investigations to nanoscale phenomena, all the way to bulk material behaviour
3. Scales of application: covering materials applied on the scale of milligrams through to industrial-scale processes, including scale-up case studies
4. Temporal scales: addressing both short-term, high-frequency characterisation to long-term performance assessments of porous materials and associated technologies

Please send us your abstract using our template and return to epomm@bath.ac.uk by Friday 18 July.
