Green cryogels are highly desirable for soft devices but often formed as crystalline-crosslinked networks due to lack of control of the freezing process. Here, the authors demonstrate a strategy to obtain multifunctional cryogels by total amorphization of the polymer using anti-freeze salts to lower the freezing point of the precursor solution.
