Freeze tape casting was developed to enable optimization of the microstructures of porous ceramic components for use as solid oxide electrodes in fuel cells.
Porous ceramics tape casting.
Tape casting of porous materials tape casting is a standard shaping technique used to produce flat ceramic sheets with a thickness range varying between 10 μm to 1 mm.
Tape casting produces a thin layer of ceramic material by coating a carrier surface thin organic film with a ceramic suspension usually by the doctor blade process.
Several techniques have been used to fabricate porous ceramics such as slip casting 14 organic foam impregnation 15 extrusion 16 tape casting 1 and direct foaming 17.
This technique has been usually applied to produce dense substrates for electronic applications but recently there are.
