Novel Preparation of Porous Alumina using Ice Particles as Pore-Forming Agents

Porous ceramics have successfully been used in a wide variety of highly advanced applications. Current routes to porous ceramics are limited in the types of porosity they can create and no one process is flexible enough to create any desired structure. This study introduces the use of ice particles as pore forming agents to fabricate porous materials. This novel method possesses several advanta...
