Macroporous ceramics with pore sizes from 400 nm to 4 mm and porosity within the range
20%–97% have been produced for a number of well‐established and emerging …

As health care is improving, our life expectancy is increasing but as we get older we lose
bone density due to osteoporosis. At present the treatment for severe cases of osteoporosis …

This review aims to provide a comprehensive survey of recent low-toxic approaches used in
the gelcasting process. In recent years, several natural gelling agents have been developed …

A new direct foaming method to produce macroporous cellular ceramics using surfactants as
foam stabilizers is presented. The technology relies on the transition of a stabilized aqueous …

The study demonstrates the aqueous processing of solid‐state‐sintered SiC foams by
gelcasting technique. Aside from increasing strength of green bodies, gelcasting monomers …

Bioactive glasses are known to have the ability to regenerate bone, and to release ionic
biological stimuli that promote bone cell proliferation by gene activation, but their use has …

Aqueous gelcasting of dense or cellular ceramics by using biopolymers as gel-formers,
instead of monomers, is a promising technology mainly in terms of environmental aspects …

Highly bioactive scaffolds for tissue engineering were synthesized using a glass belonging
to the SiO 2-CaO-K 2 O (SCK) system. The glass SCK was prepared by a traditional melting …

In recent years, a new class of ceramic foams with porosity levels up to 90% was developed
as a result of the association of the gelcasting process to the aeration of a suspension …

Cellular solids are a class of highly porous materials that covers a wide range of structures,
such as foamed materials, replicated porous or additive manufactured structures …
