Carbon foams are reviewed by focusing on their preparation and application. Their
preparation processes are discussed by classifying them into five categories: blowing and …

This review summarizes recent work on manufacturing of different types of composites.
There is a great need to engineer multi-phase (ie, composite) materials that combine the …

Graphene based aerogels (GAs) are 3D scaffold materials that can be lighter than air. Due
to their fascinating properties, such as, high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity …

The use of thick electrodes via increasing the loading mass of active materials can
effectively improve the energy density of supercapacitors at the cell level. However, the …

An easily-prepared self-blowing system based on low-cost precursors, mainly tannin and
furfuryl alcohol, was pyrolysed at 900° C. Extremely low-density glass-like carbon foam was …

The limitations of two-dimensional electrodes can be overcome by using three-dimensional
materials having sufficient porosity and active area while offering moderate mass transport …

The features of the plane parallel geometry are reviewed since this cell geometry occupies a
prominent position, both in the laboratory and in industry. The simple parallel plate can be …

Biodegradable magnesium alloys as new biomedical implant materials have been
extensively studied because of their notable biodegradability over traditional bio-inert …

Aerogels are a class of highly porous materials from almost any kind of composition, namely
metals, semiconductors, oxides, polymers, biopolymers, hybrids, and carbon, to name only a …

The mechanical properties of a new class of extremely lightweight tannin-based materials,
namely organic foams and their carbonaceous counterparts are detailed. Scaling laws are …
