Structured biofoams have been prepared from the readily available renewable biopolymer xylan by employing an icetemplating technique, where the pore morphology of the material can be controlled by the solidification conditions and the molecular structure of the polysaccharide. Furthermore, reinforcement of these biodegradable foams using cellulose nanocrystals shows potential for strongly impro...

The concept of freeze out volume used in many statistical approaches for disassembly of hot nuclei leads to ambiguities. The fragmentation pattern and the momentum distribution (temperature) of the emanated fragments are determined by the phase space at the freeze-out volume where the interaction among the fragments is supposedly frozen out. However, to get coherence with the experimental momen...

Freeze casting is a cost effective, efficient, and versatile technique capable of producing 3D structures with controlled pore shapes, orientation crystals, components' geometries in many porous materials. hydroxyapatite (HAP) has been widely applied to bone tissue engineering due HAP's biodegradable, biocompatible, osteoconductive properties. It provides interconnected relatively high mechanic...
