Freeze‐casting, the templating of porous structures by the solidification of a solvent, have
seen a great deal of efforts during the last few years. Of particular interest are the unique …

Icing is one of the most fascinating phenomena occurring ubiquitously in nature and multiple
industrial applications. In spite of a century of research work on this topic, an in-depth …

The formation of regular patterns is a common feature of many solidification processes
involving cast materials. We describe here how regular patterns can be obtained in porous …

Ice-templated structure formation of water-based suspensions was investigated from very
slow (< 1 μm s− 1) to very fast (> 100 μm s− 1) solidification velocities by analysing the …

The design and fabrication of macroporous hydroxyapatite scaffolds, which could overcome
current bone tissue engineering limitations, have been considered in recent years. In the …

Nonwoven fabrics and structured particles prepared by electrohydrodynamic jetting have
been attracting increasing attention in various research areas. Chitosan has been known as …

In the present work, the size-dependent microstructure evolution of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy
powders and the TiB 2/Al-Zn-Mg-Cu composite powders are studied experimentally and …

In the present study, interactions between nanoparticles and advancing ice-water interfaces
are systematically investigated by molecular dynamics simulations with TIP4P/2005 water …

The interaction of objects suspended in a liquid melt with an advancing solidification front is
of special interest in nature and engineering sciences. The front can either engulf the object …

Directional freezing is a simple and environmentally friendly method for producing aligned
porous materials. Porous structures of uniaxially aligned nanoparticles can be produced by …
