“…In addition, the flow behavior for the plain thickening agent/water system (without additions, Figure 2 b) was analyzed. It was shown before in literature that the thickening agents chosen (forming a gel–network with water) are commonly used in ceramic processing (for example starch [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ], guar gum [ 14 , 48 ], methyl cellulose [ 49 , 50 ]). Starch is well known from starch consolidation casting to act as a thickening agent and pore former.…”
