“…Binders used in CIM mainly consists of three functional components including: lubricants providing rheological properties for feedstock, macromolecular binders maintaining the shape integrity of green parts and debound compacts, as well as surfactants improving compatibility between ceramic powders and other organic binders [19]. CIM technology was used to fabricate a series of ceramic materials as follows: Al 2 O 3 [20,21], ZrO 2 [19,22], CaO[18], SiO 2 [23], MgAl 2 O 4 [24,25], SiC[26], B 4 C [27], AlN [13], Si 3 N 4 [28] and ZrB 2 [29] et al Through this near net shaping CIM process, a large quantity of ceramic parts have been synthesized in recent years. Qin et al [13] reported the CIM of complex shaped AlN ceramic with high thermal conductivity and successfully synthesized AlN heat sinks.…”
