The tape casting process for manufacturing low-temperature co-fired ceramic green sheets: A review
For low-temperature co-fired ceramic technology, the fabrication of high-performance green sheet is a critical step because of its effect on subsequent operations such as punching, printing, laminating, and firing. Here, we present an overview of the tape casting process for manufacturing high-performance low-temperature co-fired ceramic green sheets. Previous research is reviewed, and the primary materials for preparing the casting slurry, such as powders, solvents, dispersants, binders, and plasticizers, are systematically described. Their functions, application methods, and action mechanisms are described. Suggestions are made for future research into the tape casting process based on recent results.
