Environmentally conscious ceramics (ecoceramics) are a new class of biomimetic/biomorphic material that can be manufactured from renewable resources, such as wood from sustainable sources or wood wastes. The idea is to manufacture ceramics with the microstructure of wood. The wood is pyrolysed to convert it into carbon, which is nanoporous, but maintains the wood’s microstructure and morphology. It is possible to infiltrate this carbon matrix with a ceramic precursor, and then heat it to burn out the carbon and form the ceramic.

Abstract
Environmentally conscious ceramics (ecoceramics) are a new class of biomimetic/biomorphic material that can be manufactured from renewable resources, such as wood from sustainable sources or wood wastes. The idea is to manufacture ceramics with the microstructure of wood. The wood is pyrolysed to convert it into carbon, which is nanoporous, but maintains the wood’s microstructure and morphology. It is possible to infiltrate this carbon matrix with a ceramic precursor, and then heat it to burn out the carbon and form the ceramic.
