Phyllosilicate materials are widely used in the development of silicate ceramics.
In this work, we will focus on the study of physical and chemical characteristics, together
with the interactions between surfactants and particles within kaolin and halloysite
suspensions. The objective is to highlight the key factors that govern the stability and
rheology of these suspensions in relation with the formulation step regarding further
shaping through tape casting. The as-obtained results will contribute to optimize the
formulation and the manufacture of high performance textured phyllosilicate-based
ceramics. |
