InterPore - International Conference on Porous Media
InterPore 2026 takes place from 19-22 May 2026 in Nantes, France. It is an international conference focused on porous media research, covering material characterization, fluid transport, and 3D imaging techniques such as micro-CT.
About the Event
InterPore brings together researchers, industry professionals, and students working on porous materials across energy, environmental science, and materials engineering.

The conference focuses on understanding how internal structure influences material behavior, with emphasis on experimental methods and imaging techniques used to analyze pore-scale processes.
Tescan at the Event
Tescan participates as an exhibitor, sponsor, and speaker, focusing on micro-CT for porous media analysis.
At the event, Tescan will:
-
UniTOM HR 2 for high-resolution 3D micro-CT imaging
-
Workflows for dynamic and in-situ tomography
-
Applications in pore structure analysis and material behavior
These approaches enable non-destructive 3D imaging, quantitative pore analysis, and time-resolved studies of porous materials.
Micro-CT for Porous Media Analysis
Micro-CT (micro-computed tomography) is a non-destructive imaging technique used to visualize the internal structure of porous materials in 3D. It allows analysis of pore networks, transport pathways, and structural changes without cutting the sample.
Typical applications include:
-
Pore size distribution and connectivity
-
Fluid flow and transport behavior
-
Crystallization and phase changes
-
Structural evolution over time
