High-resolution X-ray Computed Tomography (HRXCT) or micro-CT (μCT) is a frequently
used non-destructive 3D imaging and analysis technique for the investigation of internal …

X-ray computed tomography (CT) can reveal the internal details of objects in three dimensions
non-destructively. In this Primer, we outline the basic principles of CT and describe the …

Fluid flow and mass transport in geological materials are crucial in diverse Earth science
applications. To fully understand the behavior of geological materials in this context, the pore …

The technique of X-ray microtomography using X-ray tube radiation offers an interesting tool
for the non-destructive investigation of a wide range of materials. A major challenge lies in …

For many years X-ray computed tomography has been widely used as a medical diagnostical
tool. This non-destructive technique was soon found to be very useful in rock material …

Self-healing strategies are regarded as a promising solution to reduce the high maintenance
and repair cost of concrete infrastructures. In the present work, a bacterial-based self-…

In the present work, porous gelatin scaffolds were prepared by cryogenic treatment of a
chemically cross-linked gelatin hydrogel, followed by removal of the ice crystals formed through …

X-ray micro-CT has become a very powerful and common tool for non-destructive three-dimensional
(3D) visualization and analysis of objects. Many systems are commercially available…

After several years of research in the Magnel Laboratory for Concrete Research (Belgium)
to obtain concrete with self-healing properties, two of the most promising mechanisms were …

The microstructure of building materials greatly influences engineering properties like
permeability, strength and durability. To determine this microstructure, different techniques were …
