Microstructure Control of Porous Ceramics by Pyrolytic Reactive Sintering

Abstract

As the problems on environment, energy and resources become more serious, the importance of porous ceramics for environmental cleaning/purification and energy conversion/storage is increasing. This paper introduces the microstructure control of porous ceramics using a pyrolytic reactive sintering method. In the latter half, some examples of “precise reactive sintering by controlling the composition of polymorphs”, “high-temperature in situ observation of pyrolytic reactive sintering”, and “microfiltration application using porous ceramics” will be demonstrated.
