POROUS CERAMIC COMPOSITES

摘要

The present invention relates to ceramic compositions and to the highly porous ceramic formed from such compositions. The highly porous ceramics may be milled to form granules of a particular size and shape, thus making them useful for various applications, particularly biomedical applications. Optionally, the highly porous ceramics may be fiber reinforced such that they have significantly improved compressive strengths and toughness over other ceramic compositions, particularly those used for biomedical applications.
