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 a simple materials processing and shaping route where the growth of
crystals from a solvent template the porosity. Although the principles of ice-templating were …

Bone repair is a major challenge in regenerative medicine, eg for large defects. There is a
need for bioactive, highly percolating bone substitutes favoring bone ingrowth and tissue …

Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMSs) are relevant structures for building synthetic bone
grafts due to their tortuosity and interconnected pores. In order to investigate their porosity …

A simple strategy for preparing MgO–Al 2 O 3–CaO-based porous ceramics (MACPC) with
high strength and ultralow thermal conductivity has been proposed in this work based on the …

We show that the honeycomb out-of-plane model derived by Gibson and Ashby can be
applied to describe the compressive behavior of unidirectional porous materials. Ice …

The structures of tungsten and tungsten carbide scaffolds play a key role in determining the
properties of their infiltrated composites for multifunctional applications. However, it is …

The nanoporous structure and the mechanical properties of silica aerogels are studied by
molecular dynamics simulations on large samples. For the first time, atomistic simulations …

Tubercles in sea urchin shells serve as a base on the test plates connecting the spine; these
undergo compressive or impact stress from the spines. As the volume fraction of the ordered …

The high temperature oxidation on the novel directional order porous Ti 3 SiC 2 has been
investigated in the study. The oxidation resistance is improved by increasing the purity of Ti …
