Abstract:Liquid capillarity through porous media can be enhanced by a rational design of hierarchically porous constructs that suggest sufficiently large liquid pathways from an upper-level hierarchy as well as capillary pressure enabled by a lower hierarchy. Here, we demonstrate a material design strategy utilizing a new class of self-assembled soft materials, called bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gels (bijels), to produce hierarchically porous copper, which enables the unique combination of unprecedented … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
