Reticulated Open-Celled Zinc Oxide Ceramic Foams: Manufacturing, Microstructure, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties

<div>Open-cellular zinc oxide ceramic foams with a pore count of 20 ppi and 93.6% total porosity after sintering at 1100°C. The yellow color is a consequence of structural defects in the ZnO lattice (oxide vacancies and interstitial zinc atoms).</div>
