I have oil encapsulated in polymer microcapsules which are porous. Is there a method to find the porosity of these microcapsules? The size of 1 microcapsule is 2 micrometer.
Mercury porosimetry will do fine for oil.
You can also separate oil from the mixture and use BET of the polymer
Try micro x-ray CT scan, a non distructive method for analysis.
