Abstract: Various techniques have been developed to produce porous ceramics by means of different mechanisms of pore formation such as extrusiion, particle stacking, pore former, foaming, porous template and porous gelled structure.The latest progress in the processing techniques of porous ceramics was reviewed by the different mechanism of pore formation in the present paper.

Keywords: porous ceramic, pore formation mechanism, processing, porous templates
