摘要 |
The present invention relates to a ceramic foam material, preferably a ceramic foam filter, prepared by providing an open cell flexible foam having a plurality of interconnected voids surrounded by a web of the flexible foam, applying an adhesion promoting material to at least one surface of the flexible foam, impregnating the flexible foam after applying the adhesion promoting material with a ceramic slurry, drying and heating the impregnated material to remove the organic component therefrom, and firing at an elevated temperature to form the filter. In a preferred embodiment, a flocked coating is formed on at least one surface of the flexible foam prior to impregnation. The flocked coating may be formed either by first applying a solution containing an adhesive to the surface(s) and thereafter applying fibers to the surface or by applying a solution containing the adhesive and the fibers. |
