The viscosity of a ceramic slurry depends on the slurry concentration, particle shape and size, hydrodynamic interactions, temperature, shear rate, pre-treatment condition and the method of measurement with the selected equipment. Representative ceramic slurries with low to high viscosity levels are selected from colloidal silica, barium titanate slurry and glass frit paste. Rotational rheometers and vibrational viscometers are used to compare the measured viscosity for various ceramic slurries. The rotational rheometer measured the viscosity according to the change of the shear rate or the rotational speed. On the other hand, the vibrational viscometer measured one point of the viscosity in a fixed vibrational mode. The rotational rheometer allows the measurement of the viscosity of a ceramic paste with a viscosity higher than 100,000 cP, while the vibrational viscometer provides an easy and quick method to measure the viscosity without deformation of the ceramic slurry due to the measurement method. It is necessary to select suitable equipment with which to measure the viscosity depending on the purpose of the measurement.

Using aqueous solution free radical polymerization with glacial acrylic acid (GAA), maleic anhydride (MA) and sodium methallyl disulfonate (SMADS), a novel linear polycarboxylate dispersant was synthesized for ceramics. Dispersant linear structural characterization was done by FTIR, $^1H$ NMR, HPLC and GPC, and the ratio of monomers was determined using an orthogonal experiment. This research is focused on the effects of polymerization temperature, monomer mole ratios and dosage of initiator on ceramic slurry viscosity with linear polycarboxylate dispersant for ceramic dosage rate of 0.30% (based on dry slurry), all of which were investigated by single factor test. The best polymerization conditions for linear GAA-MA-SMADS are when n(AA) : n(MA) : n(SMADS) equals 3.0 : 1.0 : 0.5, the molecular weight of the polymer is 4600 daltons, the initiator sodium persulfate accounts for 7% of the total mass of polymerized monomers, the polymerization temperature is $90^{\circ}C$ and the reaction time is 2 h. The ceramic body slurry viscosity drops from $820mPa{\cdot}s$ to $46mPa{\cdot}s$ when the concentration of the polycarboxylate dispersant is 0.30%.

The fabrication method used for mineral hydrate is similar to that of ALC (autoclaved lightweight concrete), but the fabrication of normal slurry with a considerable amount of a foaming agent is difficult due to material separation and collapse of the slurry. Therefore, the development of fabrication methods for normal slurry is necessary. The final product, mineral hydrate insulation, has excellent thermal properties but poor strength characteristic given the many pores. In this study, in order to fabricate normal slurry, the viscosity and foaming time of the slurry were controlled. The mixing ratio of the starting material and the polypropylene fiber was controlled to improve the strength. Mineral hydrate with polypropylene fiber showed a higher strength than that without this type of fiber. Specifically, the compressive strength of mineral hydrate with 2% polypropylene fiber added to it was more than 40% higher than that without the fiber.

Two processing routes (i.e., the gel casting and polymer preform routes) using polymer beads were studied to fabricate porous ceramics with a cellular structure. The gel casting route, comprising the gel casting of a ceramic slurry mixed with polymer beads, was found to be inadequate to produce porous ceramic bodies with a interconnected pore structure, due to complete coating of the slurry on the polymer beads, which left just isolated pores in the final sintered bodies. The polymer preform route, involving the infiltration of a polymer beads preform with the ceramic slurry, successfully produced porous ceramics with a highly interconnected network of spherical pores. The pore size of 250-300 $\mu\textrm{m}$ was demonstrated and the porosity ranged from 82 to 86%. This process is advantageous to control the pore size because it is determined by the sizes of polymer beads used. Another feature is the avoidance of hollow skeleton, giving a high strength.

The pore generation technology using GHM (Glass Hollow Microsphere) was studied in order to reduce the weights of porcelain. In this study, we verify the property of modified slurry by adding GHM. The modified slurry was prepared by adding 1.0~2.5 wt%(K1), 1.0~6.0 wt%(K37) of GHM to the slurry for porcelain. The slurry viscosity were stable inside a content range of 1.0~2.5 wt%(K1), 1.0~6.0 wt%(K37). However, the viscosity of modified slurry increased more than 3.0 wt%(K1) and 6.5 wt%(K37). The formed specimen by slip casting was fired at $1229^{\circ}C$, $1254^{\circ}C$. As the amount of GHM content increased, the weight decreased and the addition of 1.0~2.5 wt%(K1), 1.0~6.0 wt%(K37) of GHM resulted in a weight drop of 30%(K1) and 25(K37). However, when the GHM content increased, the strength decreases over 70%. This is caused by the presence of a large volume of surface defects (pores) and defects from the agglomeration of GHM.

Complex viscosities of dense alumina slurries over 45% volume density measured with the oscillating method were correlated well with Casson model. Among several monosaccharides and disaccharides studied here, fructose and sucrose showed good rheological properties in making dense alumina slurry plastic compared to other monosaccharides and disaccharides like glucose, galactose, arabinose, xylose and maltose. Sucrose content or additional water content in dense alumina slurry with sucrose contributed to the plasticity of the slurries.

Porous alumina ceramics are involved in many industrial applications due to the exceptional properties of these products. This study addresses the preparation of porous alumina ceramics using hollow microspheres as a pore-forming agent and slip casting as a green-body-forming technique. A uniform distribution of pores is a basic requirement of a porous material. This study investigates three different slurry systems, i.e., as-prepared alumina slurry, alumina slurry electrostatically dispersed by hydrochloric acid (HCl), and slurry dispersed by the commercial dispersant 'Darvan C-N'. At a low viscosity, the hollow microspheres in the slurry tend to float, which causes a non-uniform pore distribution. To avoid this phenomenon, the viscosity of the slurry was increased to the extent that the movement of hollow microspheres ceased in the slurry. As a result, a uniform pore distribution was achieved.

In this study, the influence of the magnetic field on ferrite slurry's injection time during the slurry forming process was investigated. The evaluation system of the slurry's injection time under the strong magnetic field was designed with FEM and manufactured. Studied parameters were the applied magnetic field, the input pressure of the slurry, and the supplying tube materials. As the results, the injection time was increased with the external magnetic field strength and rapidly decreased with increasing the input pressure of the slurry. Also the injection time was decreased when the supplying tube was manufactured with the magnetic material having the higher magnetic permeability than the ferrite.

본 논문은 출발물로서 2mol% CdO가 치환된 $0.05Pb(Mn_{1/3}Sb_{2/3})O_3-0.95Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti_{0.48})O_3$ 분말을 제조 후, 닥터 블레이드 방법으로 green sheet를 제조하기 위한 slurry의 최적 공정첨가제 조성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 또한, 제조된 green sheet에 대하여 소결 특성과 두께 변환에 따른 유전 및 압전 특성을 관찰하였다. 공정첨가제의 첨가에 따른 점도거동을 통하여 slurry를 최적화하였고, TGA 분석으로 소결조건을 정하였으며, sheet의 특성에 미세구조와 XRD 등으로 측정하였다. 최적의 slurry는 고형분량 30vol%에 대해 분산제 3.0wt%에서 가장 안정화되었고, 이후 바인더/가소제(0.75/0.25) 3.0wt% 첨가시 점도는 7.55Pa${\cdot}$s이었다. Green sheet의 유전 및 압전 특성들은 각각 900$^{\circ}$C, 950$^{\circ}$C, 1000$^{\circ}$C로 소결온도를 증가함에 따라 다소 증가하였지만, 두께에 따른 특성들은 큰 변화가 관찰되지 않음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we described about the characteristic evaluation of environment-friendly ceramic paint with calcium-silicate mineral as a main binder. Particularly, we performed discharge of the environmental poisoning materials(e.g. VOCs, heavy metal, etc.), and properties of paint slurry and coating film of the ceramic paint. In the comparison of the ceramic paint with natural paint and mineral paint which were known as our environment-friendly paints, ceramic paint had good characteristics in the environmental safety and properies of wet slurry and dried coating film.
