Abstract

The rheological properties of crowded suspensions and pastes of powders dispersed in liquids is of fundamental importance to the forming properties of any ceramic article formed by the wet process. This includes such diverse products as brick and tile, whitewares, many refractories, electronic ceramics, and high performance ceramics. The wet processes include slurry and slip preparation, spray drying, filter pressing, slip casting, tape casting, extrusion, and injection molding. It is applicable in any powder-liquid dispersion including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and synthetic polymer systems.
