Abstract

See full text

There is provided a method for the fabrication of porous SiC ceramic. The method comprises oxidizing particles of SiC ceramic thereby forming amorphous silica on the surface of the particles. The oxidized SiC particles are then mixed with an additive. Alternatively, layer(s) of the additive is (are) deposited on their surface by sol-gel technique. The oxidized SiC particles mixed or coated with the additive are then mixed with at least one pore-former. Alternatively, the oxidized SiC particles mixed or coated with the additive are coated with layer(s) of a polymer or pore-former by in-situ polymerization. In embodiments where the oxidized SiC particles are mixed with an additive and a pore-former or polymer, a further additive may be used. In each of these embodiments, the resulting product is then compacted into a green body which is heated and sintered to yield the porous SiC ceramic material. There is also provided a porous SiC ceramic fabricated by the method according to the invention.
