Abstract:A rigorous microstructural analysis of porous mullite materials developed using novel shaping strategies based on the starch consolidation casting, and their thermal properties in relation to the processing and starch type were accomplished in view of their use as thermal insulators. In order to characterize the size and morphology of pore, basic size and 2D shape factors, and global 3D stereological parameters were determined using microscopy techniques. Results indicated that the porosity volume, pore connectivity degree, and mean free path were the determining factors of the lowest heat transfer by conduction registered in materials prepared with cassava starch. This material is the best candidate to be used in thermal insulation.
Keywords:microstructure  mullite  porous materials  thermal conductivity
