Abstract

Ultra smooth ceramic materials are prepared by the low temperature sintering of a ceramic body that has been infiltrated prior to sintering with an inorganic polymer. The infiltration allows for a decrease in the sintering temperature which translates into a smoother, stronger ceramic material.
