Abstract

The presented work deals with the analysis of suspensions from two types of zirconium oxide nanopowder and two types of reagents (Disperbyk and Dolapix) suitable for the creation of porous ceramics. In the work, a secondary material - micro methyl cellulose (MMC) was used as a combustion additive, and the stability and rheological behaviour of suspensions with increasing MMC content were observed. The stability analysis proved a fast analysis, complementary to conventional rheological measurements. It enabled predicting the behaviour of the suspensions after forming the ceramic body, particularly for the case of slip casting. The microstructure analysis confirmed the influence of MMC on the pore content as well as the applicability of a unique stability analysis for predicting the formation of porous ceramic bodies.

Keywords: Kinetic stability, rheology, viscosity, microstructure
