Abstract

A solution containing polymerizable monomers and volatile solvents can be used to disperse ceramic particles along with ceramic whiskers and remain pourable even with high solids. Using this dispersion, a high solids ceramic article can be molded, polymerized in situ and fired with a good binder burnout.
