impregneringcontext
Impregneringcontext is a term used in materials engineering to describe the set of conditions under which an impregnation treatment is conducted on a porous material. It defines the context in which the impregnant penetrates the substrate and influences the distribution, depth of penetration, and the resulting material properties. The concept covers three interrelated domains: the substrate, the impregnant, and the processing environment.
The substrate domain includes porosity, pore size distribution, permeability, moisture content, and surface energy. The impregnant
The purpose of defining an impregneringcontext is to achieve adequate saturation, minimize voids, control distribution, and
