| Abstract Scope |
Bioinspired directionally porous ceramics are potential for structural and functional applications. Ice-templating technique enables the fabrication of directionally porous materials and significant interest exists in using external energized fields for manipulation of ceramic particles and templated structures. Among the various energized fields, the advantage of electric field is that ceramic particles in aqueous media can directly respond to the applied field and ceramic suspensions of different concentrations can be utilized. However, the progress in using electric fields in the fabrication of ice-templated ceramics has been limited. In this presentation, we will discuss how electric fields can be uniquely combined with the ice-templating technique to further advanced the technique for the fabrication of bioinspired structures. Our preliminary results show that using electric field, templated structure can be uniquely tailored and mechanical properties can be significantly improved. We will also discuss the role of different variables in tailoring microstructure and mechanical properties. |
