Abstract
A composition suitable for use as a binder of ceramic materials and a method for preparing a ceramic material which provides relatively greater green ceramic strength is disclosed. The improved binder contains a substantially hydrolyzed copolymer made from monomers having ester or amide functional groups, poly(vinyl amine), poly(vinyl formamide) or a copolymer of vinyl alcohol and vinyl amine. The binder is combined with an aqueous solution containing a ceramic powder to make a slurry, and the slurry is subsequently spray dried, pressed and heated to make a ceramic.
