Porosity and cell size control in alumina foam preparation by thermo-foaming of powder dispersions in molten sucrose

The foaming characteristics of alumina powder dispersions in molten sucrose have been studied as a function of alumina powder to sucrose weight ratio (WA/S) and foaming temperature. The increase in foaming temperature significantly decreases the foaming and foam setting time and increases the foam v...
