Abstract: | Zirconium phosphate (ZrP2O7) bonded silicon nitride (Si3N4) porous ceramics were prepared using starch powder as the pore forming agent and pressureless sintering technique. The obtained results show that the porosity of the sintered starch processed 25 wt.% ZrP2O7 bonded Si3N4 porous ceramics is 36-62.3%. All the samples exhibit surprisingly low linear shrinkage. The pores are formed by the continuous reaction of ZrP2O7 at ~ 250 °C and burnout of starch at ~ 550 °C, during which a large amount of pores with pore sizes of less than 0.5 μm and ~ 10 μm are formed. |
