Abstract:

Green ceramic batch mixtures include at least one inorganic batch component, at least one organic binder, and a water-in-oil emulsion including at least one lubricant, at least one aqueous solvent, and at least one emulsifier. Methods for forming ceramic bodies include forming a green ceramic batch mixture including a water-in-oil emulsion and extruding the green ceramic batch mixture. The methods and batch mixtures can be used to produce green and fired ceramic bodies.
