Ice segregation induced self-assembly (ISISA) is a bottom-up process based on\u00a0the unidirectional immersion in liquid nitrogen of a colloidal\u00a0aqueous suspension and subsequent freeze-drying. The process has already demonstrated its suitability for the preparation of inorganic, organic and hybrid\u00a0macroporous monoliths and fibers by freezing of different gels and\u00a0colloidal suspensions.\u00a0Moreover, the process is highly biocompatible\u00a0(it begins from an aqueous suspension and continues in the\u00a0absence of further chemical reactions avoiding potential complications\u00a0associated with by-products or purification procedures) and\u00a0its suitability for the incorporation of proteins, liposomes (e.g.,\u00a0membrane structures that mimics that of cells) and even bacteria\u00a0has been demonstrated.<\/p>\n

ISISA has been used for the preparation of materials with applications in energy, environmental science and biomedicine.<\/p>\n

Moreover, monolithic 3D architectures\u00a0composed of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and\u00a0chitosan (CHI) proved highly effective as anodes in\u00a0fuel cells and microbial fuel fells. Moreover, this sort of 3D architectures have demonstrated their suitability as scaffolds for tissue engineering purposes as well as supports for controlled release and drug delivery applications.<\/p>\n
