-
The
Ceramic Processing Group has a state-of-the-art facility for
characterization of powders, slurries, green bodies, and dense
ceramics.
-
Particle
size can be determined using either laser or centrifuge techniques,
and surface area is measured by the BET method.
-
Brookfield
and Bohlin rheometers provide dynamic viscosity measurements
for slurries and gels over a wide range of shear rates and torques.
-
Thermal
analysis (DTA and TGA) can be performed up to to 1600 degrees
C. Room-temperature mechanical properties and microscopy analysis
can be done on green or fired ceramics.
-
Facility
also includes a Quantachrome Gas Adsorption and Surface Area
Analyzer and Image Analysis Systems including Nikon Epiphot
Microscope, Boeckler Video Image Marker-Measurement System,
and Image Pro-Plus Software (most advanced imaging program available
today).
