Abstract

This review presents an in-depth analysis of the progress and achievements in the study of porous structures by the Physicochemical of Surfaces Academic Area at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Iztapalapa's Chemistry Department. A straightforward model for depicting disordered structures has been introduced here, facilitating the discovery of correlations between adjacent elements within these structures. Such correlations have proven to be crucial in the classification and analysis of different disordered porous materials and have been instrumental in the interpretation and categorization of nitrogen adsorption isotherms.

 

Resumen. Este artículo proporciona una revisión completa de los avances y aportes realizados en la caracterización de estructuras porosas dentro del Área Académica de Fisicoquímica de Superficies del Departamento de Química de la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Iztapalapa. Dentro de esta Área Académica se ha desarrollado un modelo simple para describir estructuras desordenadas, que permitió visualizar la correlación entre elementos vecinos que constituyen dichas estructuras. Estas correlaciones han resultado en un factor clave para clasificar y categorizar diversos medios porosos desordenados, además de servir como herramientas útiles para interpretar y clasificar las isotermas de adsorción del nitrógeno.
