          it is desired to form walls in the matrix.  The closest                     
          embodiment found in Fink seems to be that set forth in column 7,            
          lines 48-53, wherein ceramic particles are suspended in a liquid            
          monomer which is subjected to laser photo polymerization whereby            
          the particles are then trapped in the polymer after
