Morphology and topology of multiscale pore networks: Imaging structural alteration and hydric invasion — •Pierre Levitz — Phenix laboratory, Univ. Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France

Most geomaterials, such as clayed soils, rocks and building materials, exhibit a complex and hierarchical porous structure generally ranging from nanometer to macroscopic scale. The multiscale organization of pore network is a cornerstone, influencing transport properties (diffusion-permeation) and mechanical strength. The textural evolution in time is a challenging question, especially during structural alteration such as dissolution-reprecipitation [1] or fluid invasion [2]. Similar questions are also encountered in the domain of cultural heritage where ancient materials [2,3] can be a source of inspiration to design new systems or to improve specific preservation strategies.

In this conference, we will show how micro and nano X ray or neutron microcopies [4], small angle X ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS) [5] and ptychography [6] are attractive and no destructive tools for the investigation of the structural evolution of these strongly disordered systems. These experiments have the ability to probe a hierarchical organization on a large length scale ranging from nm to few hundred nanometers. This multimodal structural analysis offers the possibility to build constrained models mimicking observed geometrical features [7]. These models can then be used to simulate various transport and/or mechanical properties in relation with the pore network topology [1,7].
