Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A novel and simple gelling system to ceramic slurry was developed, using water-soluble poly-isobutylene-alt-maleic anhydride as an additive to make ceramic slurry, which will be applicable for new and precise forming devices such as 3D printers. The additive acts as the dispersant first, and then, as a time-dependent gelling agent for alumina fine powder suspension. The effects of additive structure and molecular weight and alumina powder properties, i.e., particle diameter and magnesium content, on the optimum additive concentration and preparing methods were examined by macroscopic aspects, slurry rheology and additive adsorption, and microscopic one, particles to a plate interaction force measured by colloid probe atomic force microscopy (AFM). Based on the time-dependent surface-interaction change and polymer adsorption properties, the dispersion and gelation of this slurry with polymer dispersant were discussed.
