Abstract

The macroporous ceramic samples fabricated using the sponge replica and protein direct foaming methods were compared in terms of porosity, density, compressive strength and microstructure. The egg white protein was applied in both fabrication methods as the binder or foaming agent. The samples fabricated using the protein direct foaming method were stronger and more uniform pore structures in the similar porosity. This result was supported through the Weibull modulus analysis and the scanning electron microscope microstructure observation.
