Organic waste-derived pore formers for macroporous ceramics fabrication: A review on synthesis, durability properties and potential applications

Researchers have switched their focus on advancing the exploitation of the cost-effective pore-forming agent (PFA) fabrication method due to the capital-intensive nature of the cutting-edge technologies for the manufacture of macroporous ceramics with tailored porosity. The introduction of synthetic...
