Impact of a tert-butyl alcohol-cyclohexane system used in unidirectional freeze-casting of SiOC on compressive strength and mass transport

Macroporous SiOC monoliths were prepared by solution-based freeze-casting of a polymethyl siloxane using cyclohexane (CH) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) as a novel template media. Samples with TBA amounts of 100, 90, 80 and 0 wt% were stable during preparation at −20 °C. Using TBA or CH creates prisma...
