An exploratory study was developed to determine the potential use of glass ceramic materials in the manufacture of an open pore foam catalytic support for diesel soot filtration. This project determines the behavior of some mechanical and morphological properties of a cellular glass ceramic structure according to three different variables of analysis: pore density, type of ceramic suspension, and percentage of compression during the excess material removal stage. The replication method was used based on polyurethane (PU) foam templates of 45 and 60 pores per inch (ppi). The parent glass used corresponds to a system called LZSA (Li2O – ZrO2 – SiO2 – Al2O3). Best fabrication parameters were determined to obtain LZSA foams with properties similar to those of commercial foams used for this application.
