Abstract
Foams and methods of fabricating and using the same are provided. The foams can be free-standing and rigid and can be used as, for example, nanofiller networks. The shape and size of the foam pore interconnected network can be tailorable/tailored. The foams can be, for example, transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) foams with a layered structure (e.g., tungsten sulfide (WS) foams). A freeze-drying-based method can be used to fabricate bulk porous foam, which can be used for, e.g., polymer nanocomposites. A vacuum-assisted infiltration procedure can be used to fabricate a foam-polymer nanocomposite.
