The model was verified by comparing calculated conductivity values with experimental values obtained from in situ conductance measurements.
The determined values were compared with the conductivity values calculated by a pH & Conductivity Calculator software.
Multi-walled carbon nanotube films were found to exhibit higher conductivity values compared to those observed for single-walled carbon nanotubes composites at comparable contact angle values up to true nanotube volume fraction of 0.12.
The validity of the model is tested by applying it to a set of model structures and comparing calculated effective conductivity values against analytical results.
The experimentally measured conductivity values are compared with the numerically calculated ones and also with the existing theoretical and empirical models.
The obtained thermal conductivity values were compared with those determined from Raman scattering measurements, and a good agreement between both methods was found.
Calculated effective thermal conductivity values are compared with the experimental data and simulation data where all the three parameters (i.e., particle dispersion, particle heat transport and coagulation of particles) are considered.
Some experimental data are introduced to compare the models with the conductivity values obtained for real samples.
The higher hydraulic conductivity values observed for the lateritic topsoil as compared to the lower hydraulic conductivity observed for the basement is probably due to the porous yet less permeable nature of clay minerals that make up the lateritic topsoil.
These results were confirmed by ion leakage measurements in leaf disk assays, which showed significantly lower conductivity values in leaves expressing YFP-tagged XopD1-760, compared to leaves that expressed XopD216-760 (Figure 5D).
