Macroporous ceramics are fabricated using emulsions stabilized with particles of various chemical compositions. Stabilization with particles hinders extensive droplet coalescence during solvent extraction, allowing for drying and sintering of the emulsions directly into macroporous materials in the absence of any chemical reaction.
