Synthesis of silica-based scaffolds with high porosity and controllable microstructure by a sintering-free sol–gel/freeze-casting hybrid method under mild conditions

Scaffolds and porous composites synthesized by freeze casting method and polymer infiltration can be applied in the fields of bone grafting materials, implants, filtration, and thermal insulation due to the anisotropic and interconnected porous structure. Freeze casting techniques have been applied...
