Directional freeze-casting is a porous materials fabrication technique that is used to create materials with complex, three-dimensional pore structures. Particle suspensions are solidified under a thermal gradient, promoting anisotropic growth of dendrites and incorporation of particles within interdendritic space. A fully-solidified directional freeze-cast structure is composed of dendrites that are...
Cyclodextrin-based polymers (CDPs) are adsorbents based on supramolecular receptor chemistry and have emerged as a promising technology for organic micropollutant remediation. Micropollutants are small organic molecules which contaminate water systems from human related activities. The occurrence of micropollutants in water sources is associated with many negative health, economic, and ecological...
Freeze casting is a technique for processing porous materials that has drawn significant attention for its effectiveness in producing a variety of tailorable pore structures for ceramics, metals, and polymers. With freeze casting, pores are generated based on a solidification process where ice crystals act as a sacrificial template which...
