Advanced imaging

Neutron imaging

We use neutron imaging to study porous materials and their interactions with fluids. Neutron imaging provides a high dynamic resolution with respect to moisture content, but also a high resolution in space and time. We aim at understanding the physics of transport processes, determining material properties and validating computer models. We have developed several experimental methods to study mass transport under different boundary conditions. Neutron images are acquired at the Neutra and Icon beamlines of the Paul Scherrer Institute (Villigen, Switzerland)
