Rheological additives in ceramics: principles, functions and role

The pivotal role of rheological additives in ceramic processes: how deflocculants and binders shape the stability, viscosity, and workability of ceramic suspensions.

The discussion explores particle interactions, colloidal stability, the electric double layer, and the main electrostatic and steric stabilization mechanisms.

The goal is to highlight how the right use of additives can optimize production processes and enhance the quality of the final ceramic product.
