T1 - Fabrication of porous ceramics made from nano sized alumina powder by gelcasting N2 - The gelcasting process was used for manufacturing porous ceramic bodies from nano sized powders. 3 different powders with specific surface areas between 12 and 30 m²/g were used. Solid content of the corresponding slurries was dependent on the milling procedure and the use of a suitable dispersant. For bimodal GradeA powder solid content was as high as 58 vol%. For sintering temperatures between 1250 and 1600°C the porosity varied between 45 and 20%, whereas the pore radii varied between 50 and 91nm. The grain size of crystallites in the sintered microstructures was about 1um. The reflection ratio for visible light increased in comparison to a reference sample made from conventional powder from 0.8 to 0.95 in the wavelenght range around 400nm.
