The solution processing of electronic ceramic materials often involves multiple cationic elements or dopants to affect microstructure and properties. Material stability must be considered through the steps of colloidal processing to optimize desired component properties. This review provides strategies for preventing material degradation in particle synthesis, milling processes, and dispersion, with case studies of consolidation using spark plasma sintering of these systems. The prevention of multication corrosion in colloidal dispersions can be achieved by utilizing conditions similar to the synthesis environment or by the development of surface passivation layers. The choice of dispersing surfactants can be related to these surface states, which are of special importance for nanoparticle systems. A survey of dispersant chemistries related to some common synthesis conditions is provided for perovskite systems as an example. These principles can be applied to many colloidal systems related to electronic and optical applications.","PeriodicalId":48807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2015-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70791246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies, initially developed in the polymers and metals industries, have become of increasing interest for shaping ceramic parts. Among AM techniques, photopolymerization (referred to as stereolithography (SLA) and micro-stereolithography) makes it possible to reach high accuracy that matches the design requirements for new applications of ceramics in a wide range of fields. The development by means of (micro)-stereolithography of complex 3D ceramic parts with improved performance requires the mastering of various parameters linked to the inorganic-organic system involved in this processing route. This paper reports on some recent achievements in the production of ceramics using photopolymerization. Some examples of the work performed at the SPCTS laboratory to produce complex 3D ceramic parts for applications in the fields of information and communication technologies, healthcare and jewellery are presented.","PeriodicalId":48807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology","volume":"6 1","pages":"95-104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2014-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70789957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The as-processed GC matrix had a nano-scaled biphasic microstructure, with isolated amorphous leucite phase evenly distributed in the continuous feldspar matrix. After the GP/GC composite was heated at 900 °C, the amorphous leucite phases were transformed into leucite crystalline phases. Au 2 Si and Au 5 Si 2 found at the GP/GC interface proved that chemical reactions had indeed occurred during composite processing. Fracture surface features around the GP and GP/GC interface were further examined after heat treatment at 1100 °C and 1300 °C, showing new compounds were produced during the process.

SEMEDS analyses showed thatCaSiO3 was the mainnewphase formed, growing from SiC aggregates into the pores.Theshapes of the initial and corroded cylinders were measured at room temperature using a 3D coordinate measuring machine equipped with a laser-plane sensor.
