In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following measures. That is, zirconia powder raw material 90-99% by weight
This is a method for producing porous zirconia ceramics, in which a mixture of 1 to 10% by weight of a polyacrylic styrene polymer is mixed, kneaded and molded, and then fired.

In general, polyacrystyrene polymer (hereinafter referred to as PASP), which has the property of vaporizing at 300°C to 500"c, is used as a pore-forming agent and is kneaded and molded with zirconia powder raw material, and then degreased to disperse PASP. During sintering, porous zirconia ceramics with pores formed within the structure is obtained.

If the blending amount of PASP is less than 1% by weight, a finished ceramic product with sufficient pores will not be obtained, and if the blending amount exceeds 10% by weight, the temperature will rise to 300 to 400 % during the heating process in the firing process. In the vicinity of C, a large amount of PASP present in the structure rapidly evaporates, leading to destruction. In addition, it may become difficult to remove the mold during molding, which is undesirable.
