In addition to dense monolithic ceramics, porous silicon nitrides are gaining more importance in technological applications [24], Some porous silicon nitrides with high specific surface area have already been applied as catalysis supports, hot gas filters and biomaterials [25], There is an emerging tendency to facilitate silicon nitride as biomaterial, because of specific mechanical properties that are important for medical applications [25], Moreover, in a recent study it was shown that silicon nitride is a non-toxic, biocompatible ceramic which has the ability to propagate human bone cells in vitro [25], Bioglass and silicon nitride composites have already been realized to combine...
