Abstract
A method for fabricating an alumina body having nano-sized open-cell pores, the alumina body is formed from α-AlOand Al(OH). The alumina body has porosity of greater than 36 percent by volume and a mean pore flow diameter less than 25 nm. The alumina body retains porosity of over 20 volume percent for temperatures up to 1510° C. for 1 hour. The nano-sized open-cell porous body can be scaled to any 3-dimensional structure.
