An elegant coupling: Freeze-casting and versatile polymer composites

The innovations of materials science and modern technologies are boosting the prosperity of polymer composites in various emerging multi-disciplinary fields. Cooperating with the conventional and emerging processing methods, the freeze-casting (ice-templating) technique is attracting interest in the assembling of three-dimensional structural materials (3D-SMs) accompanying the growth of ice crystals. These unique 3D-SMs with isotropic, cellular,...
