Aqueous injection moulding of alumina using agarose

Dispersant selection for aqueous medium pressure injection moulding of anhydrous dicalcium phosphate

“…[3][4][5] whereby viscosity decreased with increasing shear rates. Shear thinning occurs due to the ordering of particles into layers.…”

Shaping of Dense Advanced Ceramics and Coatings by Gelation of Polysaccharides

“…of M alaga (Spain). She is co-author of several scientific papers (70) and holds 3 patents. Her research is focused on: a) design and advanced colloidal processing of ceramic materials, b) hydration of eco-cement pastes; c) X-ray powder diffraction (Rietveld Quantitative Phase Analysis).…”

“…Mill an et al [51,70,71] used different gelling additives (agar, agarose, and carrageenan) in the ceramic forming, by both gelcasting and LPIM, and compared the effect of their addition in the form of powders and as an aqueous solution in the rheological behaviour, sintering and microstructure of the gel cast specimens. [72] They also described the use of gelling agents in the forming of non-oxide ceramics and metallic powders.…”

Organic additives in gel-tape casting of ceramic powders – A novel approach to the problem of elasticity and cracking of thin tapes

“…Nowadays the use of curing and gelation processes allow to obtain both dense ceramics, from large three-dimensional samples to thin tapes [6][7][8] and porous samples [9,10]. The most popular shaping methods based on in situ polymerization are for example: gel-tape casting [11], gel-electrophoresis [12], aqueous injection moulding [13] or mechanical foaming coupled with gelcasting [14]. Polymerization process is also widely used in freeform fabrication techniques based on UV-curing [15][16][17].…”
