Porous ZrTiO 4 ceramic specimens were prepared by pressing and sintering at different temperatures (1150-1500 β’ C range) powders synthesized by the polymeric precursor technique. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that all specimens are orthorhombic single-phase ZrTiO 4 . Average pore diameter had approximately 73% reduction for increasing the sintering temperature from 1150 to 1500 β’ C. Scanning electron micrographs of polished and thermally etched surfaces show also intergranular porosity reduction at the expenses of the increase of average grain size. Impedance spectroscopy measurements in specimens under controlled humidity conditions gave evidences of the ability of the porous ZrTiO 4 specimens to be used as humidity sensors.

An experimental study was conducted on a drug delivery system (DDS), using porous apatite ceramics (PAC): hydroxyapatite block (HAb) [Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 ] having a porosity of 35-48% and pore size range of 50-300 m, and β€-tricalcium phosphate block (TCP) [Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ] having a porosity of 75
The objective of this work is to develop manufacturing method of porous SiC ceramics with mechanical and chemical stability. The nanoinfiltration transient eutectic (NITE)-porous SiC ceramics were fabricated by decarburization of the hot-pressed NITE-SiC including carbon particles. Porosity could be
