| Abstract: | The effect of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) addition on the preparation of Si3N4 ceramic foam by the direct foaming method was investigated. The addition of CMC in the foam slurry can reduce the surface tension, increase the viscoelasticity of foams, and improve their stability and fluidity. The foam ceramics show low shrinkage during drying owing to the CMC and the gelation of acrylamide monomers. The surface structure of dried foam is uniform, and there are no macropores and cracks on the surface. The sintered Si3N4 foam ceramics have very uniform pore distribution with average pore size of about 16 μm; the flexure strength is as high as 3.8–77.2 MPa, and the porosity is about 60.6–82.1%. |
