Bioremediation is traditionally carried out using 'free'bacterial cells; however, in recent years,
utilization of 'immobilized'bacterial cells has gained attention as a promising technique due …

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 …

Ice templating is able to do much more than macroporous, cellular materials. The underlying
phenomenon—the freezing of colloids—is ubiquitous, at a unique intersection of a variety of …

Freeze casting is a promising technique to fabricate porous materials with complex pore
shapes and component geometries. This review is aimed to elaborate the fundamental …

This review is devoted to the most recent developments (2000–2005) of sol–gel materials at
the interface with biology. In the context of bioencapsulation in mineral hosts, novel synthetic …

This review aims to demonstrate the capability of the ice-segregation-induced self-assembly
(ISISA) process for the preparation of materials with highly sophisticated structures (eg …

The rapid increase of interest in the field of biohybrid and biomimetic materials that exhibit
improved structural and functional properties is attracting more and more researchers from …

This critical review introduces a discussion on the influence of preparative procedures
(nanofabrication) of nanostructured hybrids and biohybrids, comparing their structural and …

Calcium aluminate cement (CAC) contents higher than 3wt% in refractory castables can
have some drawbacks in the various processing steps (mainly drying) and also in their …

Abstract Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) scaffolds are prepared by a cryogenic process that
consists of the unidirectional freezing of a PVA solution. The scaffolds exhibit a …
