Before impregnation of the organic templates with an aqueous ceramic slurry, the templates were treated using silica sol. The surface morphology, elasticity of the templates, and the solid loading were studied. After the treatment, the coherence between the template and the slurry was significantly optimized, and the surfaces of the templates were uniformly covered by slurry. The elasticity of the templates was also increased. Consequently, the loading content increased considerably.
