Channeled ceramic structure and process for making same

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

A variety of military and commercial applications employ porous ceramic structures. These applications include solid state gas sensors for carbon dioxide, where various ceramic structures are typically used, and for oxygen, where titania is typically used; bioceramic medical implants where hydroxyapatite is used; solid oxygen fuel cells where strontium-doped lanthanum magnatite is typically used; positive temperature coefficient thermistors where barium titanate is typically used; solid/liquid/gas filtration where silicon carbide and titania are typically used; and transducer materials for sensors and biomedical applications where lead zirconate titanate is typically used.
