Effect of emulsion composition on gel strength and porosity in the preparation of macroporous alumina ceramics by freeze gelcasting

The freeze gelcasting of hydrogenated vegetable oil-in-aqueous alumina slurry (HVO-in-AAS) emulsions of HVO to AAS volume ratios in the range of 1.34–2.69 prepared from slurries of various alumina concentrations were studied to prepare macroporous ceramics of high porosity. The compressive strength...
