Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="author" id="abs0005"> <title id="sect0005">Abstract</title> <sec> <p id="spar0005">A novel porous material Ti₃SiC₂ is synthesized using reactive synthesis of mixed elemental powders. The synthesized porous Ti₃SiC₂ has high purity more than 99.0%. By adjusting the fabrication parameters, porous Ti₃SiC₂ can be synthesized with average pore diameters ranging from ∼200 nm to over ∼40 μm and open porosity ranging from ∼19.5% to ∼53.2%. The pore formation mechanism has been studied. Also, the synthesized porous Ti₃SiC₂ material presents promising mechanical properties. This novel porous material has the potential to replace the traditional inorganic porous material.</p> </sec> </abstract>
