Measurement of noble gas adsorption via laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for wettability determination

摘要

A method allowing for rapidly determining wettability of porous materials or other materials by measurement of the absorption of noble gases to pore surfaces through laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy is provided. The method can provide an absolute method of quantifying wettability and a method which is a spatially resolved method. A system for performing the method also is provided.
