POLYMERIZABLE BINDER SOLUTION FOR LOW VISCOSITY, HIGHLY LOADED PARTICULATE SLURRIES AND METHODS FOR MAKING GREEN ARTICLES THEREFROM

摘要

Slurries for powder forming include inorganic powders (e.g., ceramic particles) and a binder solution composed of organic solvents and at least one species of monomer. The slurries are substantially devoid of an already polymerized binder, and thus have a sufficiently low, pourable viscosity that they can be formed under low pressure, such as tape casting or low pressure injection molding. In addition, the slurries can have a high solids loading, such as 60 vol.%, and still remain sufficiently pourable for low pressure forming applications.
