Abstract

Inorganic polymers are used in the formation of green compacts via sedimentation of colloidal alumina suspended in chloroform. Polymers containing highly polar components tend to produce constant density profiles of greater than 55% density, while those containing nonpolar, reactive components produce profiles with a large gradient in packing density. Density profiles describing the sedimentation behavior versus time and the final dried density of the compacts are generated via the use of gamma-ray densitometry. These polymers have the potential not only to increase green compact density but also to reduce weight losses due to “burnout” and subsequent sintering requirements by pyrolyzing to a ceramic phase.
