Apparently invisible. Chemistry in ceramics.

Bubbles, surfactants, and defoamers


Listen Later

In ceramic manufacturing, aqueous suspensions play a crucial role in shaping processes and determining the final quality of products.

However, foam formation can disrupt production, leading to defects and lower efficiency.

This episode dives into the world of foaming phenomena, exploring how they arise and how they affect the properties of suspensions. 

We discuss surfactants, which can encourage foam formation, and defoamers, which help keep it under control.

What key insights are needed to effectively manage these challenges?
