Abstract
This paper reports a preparation process of alumina suspension for microfabrication of nanoparticle-alumina composites. A preceramic coating resin (PCR) was used both as binder instead of traditionally organic binders and as an additive of SiC or Si 3N 4 or both. The gravity-settling behaviour of the Al 2O 3/acetonitrile suspensions has been characterized with varying poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) concentration. Appropriate PCR amount and optimized curing conditions have been found and proven to be successful in achieving dense and uniform green and sintered microcomponents. The optimal parameters of alumina composite suspension for mould filling are achieved as PVP concentration in acetonitrile = 0.1 g/ml, minimum amount of PCR = 18%, and solid loading = 60 wt.%.
