Abstract
Porous polymeric near-spherical capsules, ~ 3.6 mm in diameter, were prepared using an electrodydrodynamic process. These capsules were pyrolysed to porous ceramics, ~ 3 mm in diameter. The ceramic capsules had interconnected pores of ~ 1.3 μm in size, and large cells with a mean size of 28 μm. The larger pores resemble the cells in a typical ceramic foam and were evenly distributed throughout the structure. A large proportion of the ceramic capsules contained 65–70% porosity, and their compressive strength was 0.2–0.4 MPa.
