FIBER ENHANCED POROUS SUBSTRATE

摘要

A porous honeycomb substrate having about 10% to about 60% by volume ceramic fiber is fabricated in a variety of material compositions. The fiber material is combined with particle-based materials to reaction-form composite structures forming a porous matrix. The porous honeycomb substrate exhibits an open pore network of porosity from the fiber component to provide high permeability for various applications such as filtration and catalytic hosting of chemical processes.
