Abstract

A “toolkit” of emulsion templating and directional freezing methods has been developed which allows the preparation of a wide variety of organic, inorganic, and metallic materials in a macroporous or hierarchically porous form.1,18,20 The various processes use water, organic solvents, or aqueous/organic emulsions as the template phase. We have shown that the organic solvent can be replaced by liquid CO2 in both the emulsion templating and directional freezing approaches, thus reducing organic waste and offering advantages in applications such as the preparation of biomaterials.
