The impact of kaolin dehydroxylation on the porosity and mechanical integrity of kaolin based ceramics using different pore formers

Thermally induced lattice defects in kaolin play a key role in the mechanical integrity of kaolin based ceramics during heat treatment due to their phase transformations. The effects of three types of pore formers (sawdust, styrofoam and powdery high density polyethylene) on the porosity and mechani...
