HIGHLY POROUS CERAMIC OR METALLIC MATERIAL AND SIMPLE ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY PROCESS FOR FABRICATION OF THE SAME

摘要

A highly porous ceramic or metallic material with porosity ranging from 20% to 95% and comprising large number of ceils and area of interconnections between cells or pores. The porous material is fabricated by a simple environment friendly process comprising of preparation of aqueous solution of soap nut extract, forming of slurry, foaming and drying of the slurries at defined temperature.
