Near-net-shape forming of zirconia optical sleeves by ceramics injection molding

Optimization of the Processing of 8‐YSZ Powder by Powder Injection Molding for SOFC Electrolytes

“…Meanwhile, mixtures with a relatively high solid loading have a low content of binder, and this may facilitate its removal during debinding. To achieve this goal, wax‐based systems are usually used to obtain YSZ‐injected bars in order to obtain mixtures with high solid loading and low viscosity 8,9 . However, these kinds of systems often exhibit binder–powder separation and agglomeration, and there is higher risk for distortion during debinding 10 .…”

Comparison of peri-implant bone formation around injection-molded and machined surface zirconia implants in rabbit tibiae

“…It is capable of transforming a complicated design into final product of high final properties with the advantages of dimensional precision and near-net-shape formation 29) . The process usually involves compounding fine ceramic powder with a blend of polymers or wax in a solvent such as toluene 32) .…”

“…Injection molding is suitable for making fine ceramics, and the products shaped by this technique are highly precise and of good quality for clinical application, requiring little or no modification 28) . One additional advantage of this technique is that it offers the opportunity for mass production at a low cost 29) . In a previous in vivo rabbit experiment 30) , the novel roughened surface of the zirconia implant made by powder injection molding (PIM) was introduced and showed promising results in comparison with a machined titanium implant.…”

Review of Net Shape Fabrication of Thermally Conducting Ceramics

“…The injection molding of ceramics is similar to metal injection molding and normally consists of five steps as follows: i) material selection, ii) powder-binder compounding, iii) injection molding, iv) debinding, and v) densification by sintering [43][44][45][46]. The control of each of these process steps and appropriate selection of the starting materials (powder and binder) are critically important for the overall process success [18].…”
