Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a three-dimensional macroporous filament construct having interconnected microporous filaments showing a suitable surface roughness and microporosity. The method includes the steps of: a) preparing a suspension having particles of a predetermined material, a liquid solvent, one or more binders and optionally one or more dispersants, b) depositing the suspension in the form of filaments in a predetermined three-dimensional pattern, preferably in a non-solvent environment, thereby creating a three-dimensional filament-based porous structure, c) inducing phase inversion, whereby said filaments are transformed from a liquid to a solid state, by exposing the filaments during the deposition of the filaments with a non-solvent vapour and to a liquid non-solvent, d) thermally treating the structure of step d) by calcining and sintering the structure. The invention further provides a three-dimensional macroporous filament construct having interconnected microporous filaments showing a specific surface roughness and microporosity. The invention also relates to various uses of the construct, including its use for the manufacture of a biomedical product, such as a synthetic bone implant or bone graft.
Abstract:
Methods of forming a shaped article having a matrix that contains sintered fly ash are disclosed that include forming a fly ash dough that includes fly ash and water. In one form a superplasticizer is added in the dough. A green article is formed in a desired shape from the fly ash dough that is subsequently fired so that the shaped article is hardened by sintering its fly ash matrix. In one form, the green article is cured under conditions of moderate heating and high humidity. A building element having a matrix of sintered fly ash is also disclosed.

Abstract:
An embodiment of a ceramic isolation ball is provided to cooperate with a ball seat to isolate a first portion of a well drilled into the earth's crust from a second portion of the well. Embodiments of the ball of the present invention are comprised of a ceramic material with excellent resistance to deformation when received into a ball seat and subjected to very high pressure differentials tending to force the ball into the ball seat to isolate a portion of a borehole below or beyond the ball and ball seat from a portion of the borehole above or before the ball and ball seat. Embodiments of the ball of the present invention include a hollow interior and a hole that receives a plug to close the hollow interior to prevent fluid intrusion therein. The ball is used to isolate a portion of a well during high-pressure fracturing operations.
