Aligned Porous Structures by Directional Freezing
Abstract
Materials with aligned porous structures have broad potential in applications such as organic electronics, microfluidics, and tissue engineering. Materials of this type can be fabricated using techniques such as microfabrication, soft lithography, and photolithography. Directional freezing is a cheap, simple, and novel route to prepare aligned porous materials in the form of 2D surface patterns or 3D monolithic structures. A solvent—typically water but also organic solvents or carbon dioxide—is frozen unidirectionally and the pore structure is templated from the aligned solvent crystals that are formed. These methods can produce complex composite materials with a range of aligned pore architectures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
