FABRICATION OF POROUS ALUMINA CERAMICS WITH CORN STARCH IN AN EASY AND LOW-COST WAY

Porous alumina ceramics with different porosity were fabricated by combining the starch consolidation process with the gel-casting process using corn starch as a pore-forming agent and a binder. The bulk density, porosity, and microstructure of the obtained alumina ceramics were studied. It was foun...
