Abstract
Ceramics have a disadvantage of brittleness. In order to improve it, ceramic composites with plastic resin have attracted attention. Mechanical properties of porous alumina and porous alumina impregnated with epoxy resin were investigated, and the condition of impregnated resin was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Mechanical properties such as effective fracture energy of the composite were improved by impregnating porous alumina with resin.
