Processing and characterization of YSZ-PSS-DBS composites

Abstract

PSS-PEGL and PSS-PEGL-DBS polymeric systems have been used in YSZ slurry formulation. These organic materials with different chemical structure and functional groups had great effect on the ceramic slurry formulation. Physical properties, such as viscosity of slurry, hardness and density for green and sintered bodies, and thermal decomposition, were studied as a function of the binder composition.
