Abstract: Micro-honeycomb ceramics were successfully fabricated through brush-coating with cloth fabric as pore-forming agent. The influence of pore-forming agent and slurry’s moisture content on the micro-honeycomb ceramics was investigated. The results indicated that micro-honeycomb ceramics made from pore-forming agent cloth fabric with fibre diameter of 100 μm and slurry with 45% (mass fraction) moisture content have the porosity of 65% (volume fraction), bending strength of 24.3 MPa, pore size of about 100 μm, cell wall thickness of about 50 μm and porosity of 1131 pore/cm2. It was suggested that the pore size and the porosity could be adjusted using the pore-forming agent and moisture content of the slurry respectively.
