Unlock the Future of Porous Materials

This one-day workshop at TU Delft brings together researchers and materials scientists working at the forefront of porous materials and Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) to explore how advanced sorption techniques can unlock deeper insight into material performance. The workshop focuses on practical, research-driven applications of Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS), Inverse Gas Chromatography (iGC), and breakthrough analysis.

Across the day, attendees will examine how these complementary techniques reveal critical information on adsorption capacity, kinetics, surface energetics, heterogeneity, and competitive gas uptake—parameters that directly govern the real-world behavior of MOFs and porous solids. Particular emphasis will be placed on linking fundamental sorption data to applications such as gas separation, carbon capture, catalysis, and storage.

Through expert-led presentations, case studies from the literature, and open technical discussion, participants will gain a clearer understanding of how to select the right characterization approach for specific research questions, how to interpret complex sorption data, and how to translate measurements into meaningful structure–property relationships.

The workshop is designed for PhD researchers, postdoctoral scientists, and academic staff seeking robust, application-relevant insight into the characterization of advanced porous materials.
