ultraporous
ultraporous refers to a material or structure that possesses an exceptionally high degree of porosity. Typically the void volume exceeds 90 percent of the total material volume, resulting in a distinctive combination of lightweight characteristics and enhanced surface area. Because of these traits, ultraporous materials are often engineered for applications that require rapid diffusion, low density, or strong adsorption capabilities.
Key physical properties of ultraporous materials include a very low bulk density, high permeability, and large
Common examples are aerogels and metal‑organic framework particles. Silica aerogels, for instance, can have porosities above
In recent research the term ultraporous also appears in context with metal‑oxide nanostructures that are deliberately
