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 …

Freeze casting under external fields (magnetic, electric, or acoustic) produces porous
materials having local, regional, and global microstructural order in specific directions. In …

Ice growth has attracted great attention for its capability of fabricating hierarchically porous
microstructure. However, the formation of tilted lamellar microstructure during freezing needs …

Interfacial undercooling in the complex solidification of colloidal suspensions is of
significance and remains a puzzling problem. Two types of interfacial undercooling are …

In the field of freezing colloidal suspensions, it is important to understand the particle-scale
behavior of particle packing. Here, we reveal the dynamics of particle packing by identifying …

A model of the growth of an ice lens in a saline porous medium is developed. At high lens
growth rates the pore fluid becomes supercooled relative to its equilibrium Clapeyron …

The present work investigated diffusion interactions between nanoparticles and polymers
during freezing colloidal suspensions. The size effects of nanoporous media formed by …

There is a lack of knowledge on the growth dynamics of the formation of a new ice lens
without frozen fringe in freezing colloidal suspensions. With experimental observations, we …

Directional freeze-casting is a porous materials fabrication technique that is used to create
materials with complex, three-dimensional pore structures. Particle suspensions are …

Formation mechanism of speed-dependent ice bandings in freezing colloidal suspensions,
of significance in frost heaving and materials science, remains a mystery. With quantitative …
