FWO scholarship on hydrophobation
(06-11-2019)
In this research project micro-CT scans will be used to gain more insight in the physical properties of treated materials. Next to that, the X-ray scans also allow to quantify the liquid conductivity of these materials. It has been established that these treatments are not perfect, and some liquid moisture transport can still occur. By combining the CT-scans with hygrothermal simulations it is possible to understand which treatments can be applied safely for specific materials and exposures.
