Biological materials found in Nature such as nacre and bone are well recognized as light‐ weight, strong, and tough structural materials. The remarkable toughness and damage …
Naturally derived nanocellulose (NC) is a renewable, biodegradable nanomaterial with high strength, low density, high surface area, and tunable surface chemistry, which allows its …
We report the assembly of graphene oxide (GO) building blocks into a vertical and radially aligned structure by a bidirectional freeze-casting approach. The crystallization of water to …
Freeze-casting produces materials with complex, three-dimensional pore structures which may be tuned during the solidification process. The range of potential applications of freeze …
We report on the latest scientific advances related to the use of porous foams and gels prepared with cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and nanocrystals (CNC) as well as bacterial …
High strength and high toughness are usually mutually exclusive in engineering materials. In ceramics, improving toughness usually relies on the introduction of a metallic or polymeric …
Natural materials, such as bone, teeth, shells, and wood, exhibit outstanding properties despite being porous and made of weak constituents. Frequently, they represent a source of …
Glasses are materials that lack a crystalline microstructure and long‐range atomic order. Instead, they feature heterogeneity and disorder on superstructural scales, which have …
