Materials prepared by Freezing-Induced Self-Assembly of Dispersed Solutes: A Review
Ranajit Mondal, Guruswamy Kumaraswamy
Abstract
Ice-templating has become an increasingly popular synthetic tool in the materials science community. In this review, we focus on the role of solute–freezing front interactions, and particularly on solute–solute interactions, in determining the self-assembled structure that results from ice templating.
