Abstract

Small-angle neutron scattering measures the physical structure of materials in the 0.01-1000 nm range. lt yìelds the surface area, pore - size distribution, and the fractal dimensions (mass and surface) of the material over this size range. This technique is being used to study the durability of historic masonry made with pozzolanic mortars. Also brick and mortar deterioration processes caused by soluble salts or freeze - thaw damage are under investigation.
