We report new measurements of the densities of dark CI, CM, CV, and CO carbonaceous chondrite and black ordinary chondrite meteorites. These meteorites are suggested as candidate materials for some low-albedo asteroids. The reported low bulk densities of Phobos, Deimos, and 253 Mathilde are substant

The grain density, bulk density, and porosity were measured for 19 ordinary chondrite and 5 carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, and the grain density was measured for an additional 30 ordinary chondrite and 7 carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. The unweathered ordinary chondrites generally have porosi
The ion diffusion process in mortar is different from the one which occurs in cement paste. This difference is due to the presence of transition zones, which take place around the grains in mortar and which are very porous regions. Based on mercury intrusion porosimetry experimental data and on the
A 3-dimensional Monte Carlo model for growth of hydrocarbon films on surfaces having dangling bonds is presented. The model is microscopic in the sense that it incorporates the stereoscopic orientations of the deposited hydrocarbons and macroscopic in that it considers shadowing effects and porosity
