Abstract

This letter describes the preparation and characterization of a novel porous ceramic material via the burning of the polylactide/layered silicate nanocomposite. WAXD patterns indicate that an amorphous structure was developed in the porous ceramic material after sintering the nanocomposite. SEM observation revealed a morphology in which individual silicate layers stacked together to form platelet structure and produce house of cards structure porous ceramic material. The stress-strain curve of the porous ceramic material shows elastic-like property in the elastic region (≤8% strain) under compression test.
