Journal ArticleDOI
Biomaterials by freeze casting
TL;DR: As a processing technique for the manufacture of biomaterials, freeze casting has great promise to synthesize materials that mimic both structure and mechanical performance of the natural tissue and permit strong tissue–implant interfaces to be formed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superior mechanical performance of highly porous, anisotropic nanocellulose-montmorillonite aerogels prepared by freeze casting.
TL;DR: Because NFC is flammable, gasification experiments were performed, which revealed that the inclusion of MMT increased the heat endurance and shape retention functions of the aerogels dramatically up to 800°C while the mechanical properties were retained up to 300°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Platelets self-assemble into porous nacre during freeze casting.
TL;DR: The self-assembly process presented in this study has tremendous potential for the creation of highly porous, yet mechanically strong tissue scaffolds for low or medium load bearing bone substitute materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure-property-processing correlations in freeze-cast composite scaffolds.
TL;DR: The results show that both structure and mechanical properties of the freeze-cast composites can be custom-designed and that they are thus ideally suited for a large variety of applications that require high porosity at low or medium load-bearing capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
An ice-templated, linearly aligned chitosan-alginate scaffold for neural tissue engineering

TL;DR: The present data suggested that this C/A scaffold is a promising candidate for use as a nerve guidance scaffold, because of its ability to support neuronal attachment and the linearly aligned growth of DRG neurites.
