1. Introduction
The templating of porous materials using ice, through the process of freeze-casting, have seen a greatly increased attention during the past few years, regarding not only ceramics, but also polymers1 and metals2. The process is environmentally-friendly, using water as a removable template, highly versatile, and the resulting structures highly tuneable by various tweaks of the process such as an improved control of the nucleation conditions or the use of additives affecting the morphologies of the growing crystals3. The typical processing conditions include directional solidification, using a cooling step starting at room temperature. Under these conditions, nucleation and growth in the suspension has to occur before the ice crystals can reach a steady state, progressively growing in the temperature gradient, and yielding homogeneous and directional materials, after sublimation of the ice and sintering of the resulting green body. In all cases, this initial nucleation and growth stage results in the presence of a structural gradient close to the cooling surface, corresponding to the progressive selection of the stable crystals structure4. Such gradient has been reported numerous times, such as figure 2 of reference 5, figure 12 of reference 6, figure 8 of reference 7, figure 6a-b of reference 8, figure 2 of reference 9, and a number of other studies. The presence of this structural gradient is explained by the initial conditions during the freezing stage, and is characterized by two distinct regions. A first region, with no porosity, corresponds to the formation of amorphous ice during the very first stages of solidification10, where supercooling effects are probably present. A second region, with a gradient of por...

First, the freezing point depression of magnesium chloride was found. To begin, an ice bath was created in a 600 mL beaker filled with ice provided in the laboratory and rock salt. Next, Four different solutions with concentrations of 0.0 g (control), 0.2 g, 0.4 g, and 0.6g of magnesium chloride and 15 mL of deionized water were created. Each solution was made in a 100 mL beaker. The solutions containing magnesium chloride were stirred with a glass rod until the salt was completely dissolved. All equipment was cleaned with deionized water to minimize cross contamination. To calculate the freezing point, a Vernier temperature probe provided in the laboratory was used. The temperature probe was plugged into the GoLink!

Often after mixing an emulsion foam is produced. Foam is produced when pockets of air are trapped in a solid or liquid. Foams are a type of colloid. A colloid is a mixture between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Beaten egg whites and whipped cream are examples of trapped air in liquids. Marshmallows are an example of air trapped in solids.
Nitinol is a metal amalgam made up of nickel and titanium, these two components are available in equivalent nuclear rate. Nitinol amalgams show two firmly related and extraordinary properties: shape memory effect (SME) and superelasticity. Shape memory is the capacity of nitinol to experience misshapening at one temperature, then recuperate its unique, undeformed shape after warming over its "change temperature". Superelasticity happens at a restricted temperature extend simply over its change temperature; for this situation, no warming is important to bring about the undeformed shape to recuperate, and the material shows tremendous flexibility, some 10-30 times that of standard metal.
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the effects, if any, that freezing Gatorade has on its conductivity.
Since, a sphere has the smallest surface area for a given volume; this process makes the snow crystal round (Fig. 1.2 A). The higher the curvature is the less stable grain. In this process, the larger grains grow but smaller ones disappear. When these processes have acted on the snowpack, the grains are mostly sphere of nearly equal size, and the density is ρs ≈ 400 – 830 kg m-3 (Table 1.1). This stage of material refers to the intermediate stages of transformation as firn, wetted snow that has survived one summer without being transformed to

Ice structuring protein does not affect the quality of ice present at any given temperature but influences the size and shape of the ice crystals formed; crystals produced being rod shaped rather than usual round ones. Manufacture of ice cream and edible ices has the product mix entering the freezer at 5°C and extruded at nearly -6°C where approximately 60% of the final ice structure formed. Clarke et al., 2004 studied the ice crystal size distribution in ice cream as affected by ice structuring protein of winter wheat grass, before and after temperature abuse (cycling between -10°C and -20°C e...
Introduction: A phase change is a result from the kinetic energy (heat) either decreasing or increasing to change the state of matter (i.e. water, liquid, or gas.) Thus saying, freezing is the phase change from a liquid to a solid which results from less kinetic energy/heat. Also, melting is the phase change from a solid to a liquid which results from adding kinetic energy/heat. So, the freezing and melting point of something is the temperature at which these phase changes occur. Therefore, a phase change will occur when a vial of 10 mL of water is placed into a cup of crushed ice mixed with four spoonfuls with 5 mL of sodium chloride for 30 minutes. If 10 mL of water is placed in an ice bath, it will then freeze at 5 degrees Celsius because the kinetic energy will leave quicker with the ice involved. The purpose of this lab is to observe what temperature the water must be to undergo a phase change.
When a liquid phase and dry granular material are added to each other, then different forms of liquid distribution can be noted:
they break and the ice melts. Liquid water does not necessarily have all four hydrogen bonds
Crystalloids are typically based on a solution of germ-free water with added electrolytes to approximate the mineral content of human plasma. Crystalloids come in a variety of originations, from those that are hypotonic to plasma to those that have equal or unequal tensions. It was designed to approximate the mineral and electrolyte concentration of human plasma. Colloids are often based on crystalloid solutions, thus containing water and electrolytes, but have the added component of a colloidal substance that does not freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane. They are widely used for clinical improvements such as lung injury and other bacterial peritonitis.
