Tape casting and lamination are generic techniques for the
manufacture of components for a number of applications within the
ceramic field. Multilayer circuit boards, actuators, sensors,
membranes, structural laminates, gradient material, catalysts and
fuel cells are just some examples. SCI has for many years been
working on this technique, primarily focusing on the development
of more healthful aqueous-based tape-casting systems. However, so
far the prevailing system for producing tapes commercially is
still based on organic solvents. For this reason, we will make a
detailed comparison study of the two systems to find out where the
differences lie from the manufacturing and quality point of view.
Another objective of gaining knowledge of an organic system is to
master a commercial method that will make it possible to produce
larger quantities of high-quality tapes for our industrial
clients.
You will take direct part
in the project described above and learn all about the growing
market of tape casting and lamination for the formation of
advanced ceramic multilayer structures. Especially for your work,
we will focus on a selected component to be manufactured and
evaluated. The thesis will be presented on special meeting
occasions at which representatives from all of our industrial
member companies will be present. We shall be glad to hear from
you.
