Abstract

Many sol–gel-derived materials are porous. Surface area, pore size, and porosity are very important properties for the application of porous materials, and those properties are studied by gas adsorption measurements. The sol–gel-derived materials are sometimes used as gas separation or gas barrier membranes. In this chapter, background and measurement techniques of gas adsorption for porous sol–gel-derived materials are firstly described. Then mechanism of permeation in porous and nonporous media and gas permeability measurement techniques for membranes prepared by sol–gel processes are described.
