Abstract

In this paper, a non-toxic water-soluble copolymer of isobutene and maleic anhydride (Isobam) was used for gelcasting of Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (abbreviated as BST50) ceramics as both dispersant and gelling agent. The rheological properties and gelation behavior of BST50 suspensions have been investigated. BST50 suspension with 54 vol% solid loading and 0.1 wt% Isobam was optimized for the gelcasting process. Complex-shaped green bodies were prepared with homogeneous microstructure without large defects. BST50 samples sintered at 1500 °C were processed at a high relative density of 99.6%. The sample possessed a high dielectric tunability of 22% (30 kV/cm) and tanδ of 0.006 (1 kHz) which is decreased by 70% compared with that of dry-pressed samples. The present method has great potential in the preparation of other functional ceramics with complex shape and enhanced performance.
