摘要
The influence of stearic acid concentration on the processability of polyethylene/wax-microsized zirconia feedstocks was investigated systematically. Regarding dense and warpage-free ceramic parts, the addition of stearic acid as a dispersant is crucial for feedstock preparation with at least 50 vol% solid loads. A stearic acid concentration of 2.2 mg/m(2) (referring to the fillers specific surface area) yields the best feedstock flow properties and homogeneity. Filling studies showed that feedstocks containing 55 vol% of submicrometer-sized zirconia powder in a polyethylene-wax binder system with 2.2 mg/m(2) stearic acid as a dispersant can be processed by micropowder injection molding.
