Abstract
Rapid heating cycles have been determined for the thermal removal of binder from open pore green ceramic components. The samples are multilayer green bodies with barium titanate as the dielectric, and the binder consists of poly(vinyl butyral) and dioctyl phthalate. The kinetics of binder decomposition, the gas permeability of the green body and the conditions at failure of the green body were determined from a combination of experiments and modelling. These results were then used with an algorithm based on variational calculus to develop successful rapid heating cycles without causing failure of the component.
