Download or read book Ice Templating and Freeze-Drying for Porous Materials and Their Applications written by Haifei Zhang and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-05-14 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filling a gap in the literature, this is the first book to focus on the fabrication of functional porous materials by using ice templating and freeze drying. Comprehensive in its scope, the volume covers such techniques as the fabrication of porous polymers, porous ceramics, biomimic strong composites, carbon nanostructured materials, nanomedicine, porous nanostructures by freeze drying of colloidal or nanoparticle suspensions, and porous materials by combining ice templating and other techniques. In addition, applications for each type of material are also discussed. Of great benefit to those working in the freeze-drying field and researchers in porous materials, materials chemistry, engineering, and the use of such materials for various applications, both in academia and industry.
