REACTIVE LIQUID CERAMIC BINDER
A reactive ceramic binder in liquid form suitable for producing ceramic products from ceramic powder. The reactive, liquid ceramic binder includes liquid organomodified siloxane compounds having organoalkoxysiloxane units of the general formula (I) where the radicals R 1 are, independently of one another, identical or different alkyl, alkaryl or aryl radicals which may be interrupted by ether functions, the radicals R 2 are, independently of one another, identical or different radicals selected from H and/or alkyl radicals having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, the radicals R 3 are, independently of one another, identical or different divalent, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals which have from 1 to 30 carbon atoms and may be interrupted by ether functions, “a” is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 2.5, “b” is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 3, and 1≦a+b≦3.
1 . A ceramic composition comprising:
organomodified siloxane compounds having organoalkoxysiloxane units of the general formula (I):
where:
the radicals R 1 are, independently of one another, identical or different alkaryl or aryl radicals which may be interrupted by ether functions;
the radicals R 2 are, independently of one another, identical or different radicals selected from the group consisting of H and/or alkyl radicals having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms;
the radicals R 3 are, independently of one another, identical or different divalent, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals which have from 1 to 30 carbon atoms and may be interrupted by ether functions; and
where:
a is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 2.5; and
b is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 3;
with the proviso that a+b is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3; and
ceramic material.
2 . The ceramic composition according to claim 1 , further comprising: nanosize metal oxides.
3 . The ceramic composition according to claim 1 , which has a bulk density of from 500 g/l to 2000 g/l.
4 . The ceramic composition according to claims 1 , further comprising:
components selected from the group consisting of organic binders and inorganic binders.
