Abstract
The investigating results are given on the cordierite ceramic porous materials development. The wood waste and the crystalline carbamide were used as the pore-formers. The pore structure analysis showed that all samples had complex pore space composed of numerous elongated connected pores. The best pore formation factors were achieved when using the organic crystalline pore-former. It was demonstrated that nanodispersive metal alumina acted as the strengthening agent in course of the porous ceramics sintering. The organic clay suspension improves the cordierite powder's agglomeration capacity and gives rise to additional nano- and micro-pores.
