  35. Conclusion EP and XRR are promising tools to determine thin film porosity Need crossed studies! • Pros • Excellent qualitative description • Reproducible qualitative trends • Non-destructive • Fast and simple setup • Very small or localized samples • Real solvents • Real situations “in situ” (catalysis, sensing, biomaterials…) • Cons • Model-dependent • Complex behaviour • Need to develop accurate models • Factors • Pore Anisotropy • Surface interactions • Chemistry • Surface transformations • Understanding interface
