Solving fluid-flow control problems with porous plastics.
To tackle fluid-flow control problems, traditional porous materials, such as ceramics, glass, metal, fabric, paper, and fibres, are now being replaced by an increasing range of porous plastics.  In this article, the author discusses some of those that are available, and outlines the advantages of using these materials to replace traditional ones.
