Computational screening of templating molecules enables the discovery new synthesis routes for zeolites. Despite decades work in molecular modeling organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs), development and benchmarking algorithms docking nanoporous materials has received scarce attention. Here, we introduce Voronoi Organic–Inorganic Docker (VOID), a method based on diagrams to dock crystallin...

Introduction Advanced applications often require carbons with high surface area and hierarchical porous structures. In response to this demand some efforts have been undertaken to create materials, which effectively combine the properties of both activated carbons (high surface area) and ordered mesoporous carbons (tunable and well-developed porosity). While there are activation methods, which ...

Ice-templating has become an increasingly popular synthetic tool in the materials science community. In this review, we focus on role of solute–freezing front interactions, and particularly solute–solute determining self-assembled structure that results from ice templating.

Yolk-shell nanostructures (YSNs) composed of a core within a hollow cavity surrounded by a porous outer shell have received tremendous research interest owing to their unique structural features, fascinating physicochemical properties, and widespread potential applications. Here, a comprehensive overview of the design, synthesis, and biomedical applications of YSNs is presented. The synthetic s...

Templating of rich, complex and useful porosity in carbons is achieved by the pyrolysis eight lanthanoid frameworks. A better understanding porogenesis during self-templating helps electrocatalysis, especially bubble removal.

In the past decade, the indications for hip replacements broadened and media induced patients' expectations in terms of function and longevity have been rising steadily. Improved technology addressed wear and fixation issues. However, more attention should be given to optimising hip biomechanics as this is essential to restore function. Pre-operative hip templating allows anticipating the corre...

We aimed to determine the reliability, accuracy and the clinical role of digital templating in the pre-operative work-up for total knee replacement. Initially a sample of ten pre-operative digital radiographs were templated by four independent observers to determine the inter- and intra-observer reliability of the process. Digital templating was then performed on the radiographs of 40 consecuti...

PURPOSE Preoperative on-screen templating is a method of using acetate templates on digital images. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy, intra- and interobserver reliabilities of preoperative on-screen templating using digital radiographs for total hip arthroplasty (THA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred patients with hip disease who were treated with primary cementless...
