Abstract
As a new black ceramic pigment, encapsulated carbon black pigment has been prepared by a sol–gel-spraying method. The obtained pigment sintered at 900 °C for 2 h in air has a deep black hue (L* = 19), indicating carbon black can be fully covered. In the pigment, a dense coating layer on carbon black is formed due to the fast transformation from sol into gel by rapid extraction of solvent. The transparent silica phase spaces out the fine crystalline (zirconia or zircon), which permits to display the color of carbon black. This preparation method provides a way to prepare the encapsulated pigments. It will provide more colorful ceramic pigment applied in ceramic decoration by encapsulating.
