Abstract

Abstract : Smart capillary suspensions are used to fabricate macroporous solids with unique features regarding porosity and mechanical strength from a wide range of materials, including carbon layers and polyethylene membranes, even if sintering or high‐temperature treatment is not feasible. High‐strength porous ceramics are obtained, tailoring neck and pore shape via controlled deposition of fine particles at the sintering necks.
