Abstract
A method for making a porous structure including forming a plurality of particles into a desired shape, the particles being in a size range from about 40 to about 400 microns and including from about 5 to about 100 percent by weight of microporous particles of a synthetic thermoplastic polymeric material and from about 0 to about 95 percent by weight of nonporous synthetic thermoplastic polymeric material; and subjecting the particles to an effective pressure from about 200 to about 8000 pounds per square inch, while retaining the particles in the desired shape, for a sufficient length of time to produce an integral porous structure having substantial physical integrity.
