Abstract:

Green ceramic mixtures include at least one inorganic component, at least one organic binder, and a stable 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 mixture including a stable emulsion and extruding the green ceramic mixture. The methods and green ceramic mixtures can be used to produce green and fired ceramic bodies.
