Ice templating provides a means of generating textures with a well-defined topography.
Recent applications involve the freezing of water droplets, with or without colloids, on flat or …

Organisms living in icy environments produce antifreeze proteins to control ice growth and
recrystallization. It has been proposed that these molecules pin the surface of ice crystals …

This work investigates the freezing-induced self-assembly (FISA) of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)
and PVA-like polymers using molecular dynamics simulations. In particular, the effect of the …

Although static electric fields have been effective in controlling ice nucleation, the highest
freezing temperature (T f) of water that can be achieved in an electric field (E) is still …

Freezing of polymer solutions has been extensively investigated from many aspects,
especially the complex pattern formation. The cellular/dendritic microstructures occurred in …

Most protein molecules do not adsorb onto ice, one of the exceptions being so-called
antifreeze proteins. In this paper, we describe that there is a force pushing an antifreeze …

Freezing has been widely used for long-term food preservation. However, freezing-thawing
(FT) treatment usually influences the texture and structure of food gels such as konjac. For …

Freezing of ice has been largely reported from many aspects, especially its complex pattern
formation. Ice grown from liquid phase is usually characteristic of lamellar morphology that …

Freeze-thaw damage is a major deterioration mechanism for cementitious materials
exposed to cyclic freezing and thawing temperatures. The formation and growth of ice …

Freezing of polymer solutions has been extensively investigated from many aspects,
especially the complex pattern formation. The cell/dendrite micro-structures are believed to …
