A Novel Connectivity Factor for Morphological Characterization of Membranes and Porous Media: A Simulation Study on Structures of Mono-Sized Spherical Particles

In this study, we propose to define a connectivity factor as the inverse of the diffusional tortuosity to measure quantitatively the connectivity of whatever type of structure. The concept of connectivity used here is related to the diffusional accessibility of the structure voids. This definition o...
