ABSTRACT

The general analysis of classifications of models of porosity was presented in Chapter 1. Now let us consider the classification of models of microporous structures.

According to these assumptions, the existing models of microporous structures can be classified according to their

Methodology: analytical, numerical, or empirical Vision of microstructures: determinist or random (casual) Accounting or not accounting quantum effects: continuous or discrete

structure Limited or unlimited number of counted elements of the porous

structure (for discrete models)

In principle, all models of microporous structures are related to some comprehension of microporous medium formation. Let us consider some existing models of microporous structures in the aspect of their relationship with the processes of micropore formation.
