Gel-Tape-Casting of Ceramic Substrates

  • Chapter
Novel Colloidal Forming of Ceramics

Abstract

In this chapter, a new aqueous gel-tape-casting processing is introduced systematically. The solidification mechanism and influence factors of the gel-tape-casting are analyzed. Alumina green tapes have been prepared through gel-tape-casting successfully. Experimental results showed that the efficiency of styrene-acrylic binder is obvious for water-based tape casting. Sodium alginate has been successfully used to consolidate alumina tapes from aqueous suspensions. Based on gel-tape-casting, another novel process, spray inducing instant solidification of gel-tape-casting, was developed to overcome the limitation of the operating time. This process is fit for forming of ceramic sheets with thickness less than 0.3 mm. The researched works have demonstrated that the ceramic sheet products fabricated by gel-tape-casting process have good quality, low pollution, low costs, and significant social and economic benefits.
