MATBOX is an easy-to-use, all-in-one, MATLAB application for microstructure numerical analysis, including microstructure numerical generation, image filtering and microstructure segmentation, microstructure characterization, three-dimensional visualization, microstructure parameters correlation, and microstructure meshing. MATBOX was originally developed to analyse electrode microstructures for lithium-ion batteries; however, the algorithms provided by the toolbox are widely applicable to other heterogeneous materials. The toolbox provides a user-friendly experience thanks to a Graphic-User Interface.
