Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A porous ceramic structure has a porous ceramic aggregate configured from a plurality of porous ceramic particles, and the ratio of the number of corners at locations where two other porous ceramic particles are facing a corner of a porous ceramic particle with respect to the number of corners of the porous ceramic particles included in the porous ceramic aggregate is 80% or greater.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A porous ceramic structure comprising: a porous ceramic aggregate including at least a plurality of porous ceramic particles, wherein a percentage of the number of corners at places where a corner of a porous ceramic particle faces two other porous ceramic particles with respect to the number of corners of the porous ceramic particles contained in the porous ceramic aggregate is 80% or more, wherein the porous ceramic particles have an average pore diameter of less than or equal to 500 nm, wherein a thermal conductivity of the porous ceramic particles is less than 1.5 W/mK, and wherein a heat capacity of the porous ceramic particles is less than or equal to 1000 kJ/m 3 K. 2. The porous ceramic structure according to claim 1 , wherein Na /( Nz−Ne )×100(%)≥80(%) where Nz is a total number of corners of all the porous ceramic particles contained in the porous ceramic aggregate, Na is the number of corners at places where a corner of a porous ceramic particle faces two other porous ceramic particles within the porous ceramic aggregate, and Ne is the number of corners located on a peripheral portion of the porous ceramic aggregate. 3. The porous ceramic structure according to claim 2 , wherein Na /( Nz−Ne )×100(%)≥90(%). 4. The porous ceramic structure according to claim 1 , comprising: one sheet; and the porous ceramic aggregate bonded on the sheet. 5. The porous ceramic structure according to claim 1 , wherein a porosity of the porous ceramic particles is 20% to 99%.
