Ni-GDC Nanocomposite Material Prepared by Aqueous Based Tape Casting

Abstract

In this work aqueous-based tape casting was used to produce Ni-GDC substrates. Rheological properties of the slurries were measured at room temperature. The acrylic-based suspensions showed a pseudoplastic behavior and remained stable and homogeneous. Tapes with thickness between 100 and 220 um were produced and showed smooth and homogeneous surfaces and good flexibility. Sintered tapes showed good density and porosity values.
