Porous Materials Process technology and applications

Porous Materials Process technology and applications / by Kozo Ishizaki, Sridhar Komarneni, Makoto Nanko.

Approximately four million years of human history has passed. We have been using materials to make a variety of tools. The first materials used were naturally occurring materials such as animal bones, stones, wood etc.; and some of these familiar materials are porous. Porous materials are so familia...
