Abstract
Abstract A process is described for the preparation of a ceramic green body by hydrolyzing at least one alkoxide selected from each of two specified groups to form a dispersion of their reaction product, concentrating the dispersion to a sediment without drying it, and admixing a binder and a plasticizer with the sediment to make a ceramic slip formulation. A release agent can optionally be admixed. The slip formulation is then cast as a ceramic green body. The proportions of alkoxides can be adjusted, as desired, to produce a ceramic green body which is dielectric and useful for microcapacitors or as a conductor.
