Senior Product Specialist at Surface Measurement Systems, Connor Hewson, explores next-generation characterization of porous materials. This session showcases Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) and breakthrough analysis, showing how these techniques deliver rigorous, reproducible insight across zeolites, MOFs, carbons, COFs, and building materials. Framed against global priorities—from carbon capture to indoor air quality—the session connects lab-scale data to real-world performance, enabling smarter material selection, faster iteration, and more credible scale-up.
Dig deeper into realistic evaluation of solid sorbents for CO₂ capture, including working capacity, kinetics, multicomponent sorption, and the impact of humidity and sour gases on capture efficiency. Explore high-throughput screening for sensing and VOC capture, quantify uptake at trace concentrations, and assess water effects on performance. As a lead scientist at a company pioneering the next generation of sorption instrumentation, Connor Hewson demonstrates how SMS tools translate complex adsorption phenomena into actionable metrics—helping researchers, labs, and companies accelerate innovation while meeting urgent environmental and regulatory challenges.
