Abstract
Methods for producing metal, ceramic and cermet articles from low viscosity suspensions and the articles produced thereby. The articles include micro diameter hollow fibers, tubes having hollow walls, solid and hollow sheets, and open cell foams. The articles are useful for filters, catalyst media, fuel cell electrodes, body implantation devices, structural materials, vibration and noise control, heat exchangers, heat sinks, heat pipes, heat shields and other applications.
