Abstract
- Gelcasting is a colloidal processing method for fabricating high-strength and complex shape ceramic green bodies. However, industry has been reluctant to use the gelcasting technique because the most commonly used gel, acrylamide ( AM), is a neurotoxin. Here, we report an attempt at the gelcasting of fused silica glass using a natural and nontoxic gel, glutinous rice flour ( GRF) as binder. The GRF-based aqueous system was found to behave excellently in the gelcasting process. Flexural strength of fused silica green bodies solidified with only 3 wt% GRF is up to 11.87 MPa. Bulk density and flexural strength of fused silica glass sintered at 1275 °C are 1.75 g/cm3 and 47.02 MPa, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
