| Research Abstract |
Porous cordierite/mullite (C/M) composite and cordierite ceramics were fabricated using gel-casting as forming method. In order to control the morphology of pores and increase the porosity in the C/M composite bodies, spherical corn starch particles with 10μm in diameter was added to a slurry containing fixed amounts of the composite powder, organic monomer and dispersant. After in-situ solidification of the slurry (polymerization of the monomer added) in a mold, a green body was heated up to 700℃ (binder born-out) and successively sintered at 1350℃ for 10 h in air, which produced a Porous C/M composite having 54 % porosity. Although the porosity of the sintered composites was considerably decreased with an increasing sintering temperature, only a subtle change was detected in the average size of the primary pores (0.4 - 0.6 μm) formed between starting composite particles. Concerning the secondary pores derived from corn starch particles, spherical pores with the diameter of about 10 μ

m corresponding to the original shape and size of the starch powder added were observed in C/M composites obtained at 1350℃. At elevated sintering temperatures, the secondary pores were deformed into irregularly shaped and smaller ones. Therefore, an optimum sintering temperature to control the resulting pore structure was found to be 1350℃ for the present composite powders.
N_2 gas bubbling procedure was employed to produce highly porous cordierite ceramics from a commercial powder. Prior to the solidification due to polymerization, a constant flow of N_2 gas was introduced into a slurry. This procedure yielded extremely porous alumina ceramics with 75 - 83 % porosity. Bending strength of these samples ranged between 3 - 10 MPa, which were higher than those of cordierite ceramics fabricated using organic pore-forming agents. The enhanced strength might be due to the characteristic pore structure in which largely spherical pores derived from N_2 gas bubbling were interconnected.
Porous alumina ceramics were also fabricated using some forming procedure other than gel-casting. Relationships between pore structures and mechanical or thermal properties were examined for samples that particles of spherical hollow glass, PVA or various kinds of starches were added as pore-forming agent.
