Advanced Functional Porous Materials

Abstract

The unique compositions and outstanding properties of porous ceramic products make them useful in various application fields such as high-temperature thermal insulation, filtration, and catalytic reactions. This chapter aims to review the porous ceramics properties, classifications, and the different types of fabrication methods of porous ceramics. The readers can get a profound view of porous ceramic materials and their different fabrication methods such as particle stacking sintering, the addition of foaming, gel casting, sol–gel process, polymeric sponge, and freeze- drying method. The fabrication process of porous ceramics can influence the quality of the final products.
