Abstract

Specific modification of properties such as porosity and pore size of engineered wood-based source material enables the custom design of porous wood-derived SiC that is produced by carbo-thermal reduction between the carbonized wood-based material and an infiltrated silica sol. In contrast to bulk wood, the anisotropic shrinkage of the source material is less distinctive and can be controlled. Furthermore, the obtained structural properties of the material are isotropic. Material processing and properties of the wood-derived ceramic material are described in this paper.
