DESCRIPTION

Researchers at the University of California have developed a versatile technique for making macroporous oxides and ceramics having ordered arrays of pores with uniform and controllable pore size and porosity. The method combines a new means for controlling pore characteristics with a standard sol-gel process for ceramic formation. 
Pore sizes range from 0.1 to several micrometers. Porosities in excess of 74% can be obtained because the process minimizes cracking and pulverization.
