Grand challenges in ceramics processing

Influence of drying conditions and plasticizer‐to‐binder ratio on the water‐based tape casting of La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3−δ

“…Maintaining tape homogeneity and consistency during the tape casting process is one of the fundamental issues in the industrial use of water as a solvent, which makes it demanding to obtain a consistent thickness as well. The homogeneity of a tape is largely dependent on the rearrangement of starting particles during sintering, which is heavily dependent on solid packing in the green tape 36 . From the statistical point of view, if a tape's weight, in‐plane dimension, and thickness alternate proportionately across the tape during sintering, it is anticipated that the RSD, also known as the error‐to‐mean ratio, will be equal for these alternations.…”

Owing to this proportionality, the tape can be regarded as homogenous.…”
