Thin ceramic layers have been fabricated by dipping green tapes of alumina, formed by the doctor-blade casting method, into aqueous slurries containing mixtures of alumina and either unstabilized zirconia (MZ–ZrO2) or mullite. It was observed that the formation of a thin layer on the surface of the tape is governed by both liquid entrainment and slip-casting mechanisms, and was accelerated by i...

The purpose of this study was to use a tape casting technique to develop an Al2O3 fiber-reinforced Al2O3-based ceramic material (Al2O3-fiber/Al2O3 composite) into a new type of dental ceramic. The Al2O3-based ceramic used a matrix consisting of 60 wt% Al2O3 powder and 40 wt% SiO2-B2O3 powder. The prepreg sheets of Al2O3-fiber/Al2O3 composite (in which uniaxially aligned Al2O3 fibers were infilt...

A process of micromolding, delivering micro- and nanopatterned ceramic surfaces for biomaterial applications is described in this work. To create the desired structures, tape casting of ceramic slurries on microfabricated silicon mold was used. Several tape casting slurry compositions were tested to evaluate the feasibility of transferring micro- and nano-features from silicon molds. Used ceram...

Tape casting technics were used to realize a screen with continuous change in characteristics. Different hexaferrite compositions owned by the Ba3C02-~Zn~Fe24041 (Z) family were synthetized by coprecipitation method and calcined at 1200 "C in air. Then a slurry containing this powder is slip casted using tape casting. The tapes are dried under magnetic fied in order to orient the magnetic plate...
