摘要

The ice-templating method, also called freeze-casting and directional freezing,is a powerful technique for processing nanomaterials, polymers and engineering materials into various porous and dense materials [1,2] that has received considerable attention.Ice templating is mostly used to fabricate macroporous materials, with elongated pores in the 5-50 μm size range.Because the underlying mechanisms-the segregation of matter by the growing crystals-are mostly physical and not chemical in nature, ice templating is a versatile process.
