  • Published:
Interceram - International Ceramic Review

Abstract

Porous ceramics have been extensively studied during the last two decades because of their application potentials in various fields including thermal insulators, radome materials, gas or molten metal filters, catalytic supports and biomedical substitutes for bone. This paper gives a brief review on the recent developments of preparation of porous ceramics by direct foaming method, it shows that the direct foaming method is a more effective way for preparation of high performance porous ceramics with high porosity, high mechanical strength and an even pore size distribution compared with conventional methods.
