James Nicolas Pagaduan,* Sadaki Samitsu, Jordan Varma, Todd Emrick,* and Reika Katsumata recently published an article in ACS Applied Polymer Materials entitled "Freeze-Burn: Fabrication of Porous Carbon Networks via Polymer-Templated Rapid Thermal Annealing". Here they introduce "freeze-burn" as a rapid, robust approach to prepare porous carbon networks via sequential templating and template removal induced by RTA. They confirmed that tuning polymer mobility is crucial for arresting phase-separated structures and achieving a percolated network.
