A Review of Porous Glass-Ceramic Production Process, Properties and Applications

Abstract Porous materials exist around our environment and play an important role in daily lives to be used widely many fields, among the fields are energy distribution storage, vibration suppression, liquid filtration, heat insulation, sound absorption. glasses that have pores structure using silica as primary component all types of standard specialty glass mixture with a foaming agent other additives. is usually size nanometre micrometer range. prepared by phase separation, sintering sol-gel method [1]. This review paper will focus on various properties this porous material related production process their possible applications such filtering, lightweight concrete, resistance insulator, biomaterials.
