Porous scaffolds are widely used in biomedical applications where pore size and
morphology influence a range of biological processes, including mass transfer of solutes …

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 …

This topical review discusses the theoretical progress made in the field of polymer
nanocomposites, ie, hybrid materials created by mixing (typically inorganic) nanoparticles …

Nanoscale colloidal self-assembly is an exciting approach to yield superstructures with
properties distinct from those of individual nanoparticles. However, the bottom-up self …

Active colloids are not constrained by equilibrium: ballistic propulsion, superdiffusive
behavior, or enhanced diffusivities have been reported for active Janus particles. At high …

We investigate the crystallization-induced ordering of C18 grafted 14 nm diameter spherical
silica nanoparticles (NPs) in a short chain (M w= 4 kDa, Đ M≈ 2.3) polyethylene and a …

The ability to control the external porosity and to tune the dimensions of the macropore size
on multiple length scales provides the possibility of tailoring the monolithic support structure …

Sheet-like colloidal assemblies represent model systems to investigate the structure and
properties of two-dimensional materials. Here, we report a simple yet versatile method for …

The widespread use of magnetic nanoparticles in the biotechnical sector puts new demands
on fast and quantitative characterization techniques for nanoparticle dispersions. In this …

Crystallization demands structural regularity. Therefore, when a solvent is frozen to form a
crystalline solid, it forces the dispersed solute to partition out of the crystalline phase. This …
