| ABSTRACT |
|
In aqueous tape casting of alumina slurry systems, the relationships between the suspension compositions and the defects of the dried tapes were discussed. The suspensions compositions were controlled with the ratios of the solids, water and organics binder contents. The effects of the thickness of dried tape and kinds of binder system were also examined. In the defect free region, the apparent viscosity showed nearly same value due to the count balancing effect of solid and organic binder content on the apparent viscosity. When water content was constant, increasing solid led to decrease of organic binder content. The defect free region was narrowed with increasing of casting thickness. When linear type acrylic emulsion binders system (D1000 and D 1035) were used, defect free zone formed the belt type in the triangle of solid, water and organic binder content according to the line of constant water contents. However the defect free region was not found in the cross-link type emulsion binder system (D 1050). |
