Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr Haifei Zhang is a senior lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Liverpool. Zhang was educated in chemical engineering for both undergraduate and Master degrees and obtained his PhD in physical chemistry from Chinese Academy of Science in 2001. He has published over 90 peer reviewed research articles and filed 9 international patents as a co-inventor. He won the 12th Desty Memorial Award in 2007 for his innovative work in the manufacture of porous materials and their applications in chromatography. Zhang's main research interests are on porous materials and nanostructured materials for nanomedicine, separation, and energy storage.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Filling a gap in the literature, this is the first book to focus on the fabrication of functional porous materials by using ice templating and freeze drying.

Comprehensive in its scope, the volume covers such techniques as the fabrication of porous polymers, porous ceramics, biomimic strong composites, carbon nanostructured materials, nanomedicine, porous nanostructures by freeze drying of colloidal or nanoparticle suspensions, and porous materials by combining ice templating and other techniques. In addition, applications for each type of material are also discussed.

Of great benefit to those working in the freeze-drying field and researchers in porous materials, materials chemistry, engineering, and the use of such materials for various applications, both in academia and industry.
