Colloidal Platelet Interactions and Green Strength
Ball clays contribute fine colloidal platelets that impart greenware strength but increase total volumetric drying shrinkage to nearly 15%.
Zeta Potential and Deflocculant Additions
Deflocculation using sodium silicate and sodium polyacrylate alters the zeta potential of suspended particles, allowing high specific gravity slurries with minimal water.
Controlled Humidity Drying Chamber Kinetics
Controlled relative humidity drying chambers prevent uneven capillary moisture evacuation, eliminating base cracks in geometric forms.
