Abstract
Macroporous alumina materials were fabricated via colloidal processing using polymer spheres as the template and ceramic particles as the building blocks. The influence of the suspension conditions on the formation of the pore structure has been investigated. The results showed that the suspension conditions have a significant effect on the pore morphology. A well-defined 3-dimensional ordered porous structure with a controllable pore size and porosity could be obtained through the hetero-coagulation self-assembled processing of the polymer/ceramic particles.
