Rheological behavior of aqueous polymer-plasticized γ-LiAlO2 pastes for plastic forming

A power-law model was applied to characterize torque-shear rate relation of the paste system. The results demonstrated that the power-law model fits well for the aqueous γ-LiAlO2 paste. Thixotropy behavior of the paste was found during shearing, mainly due to linkage break of particle-polymer and polymer-polymer. The rheological study showed that the change of components content has large influence on the thixotropy phenomena and plastic deformation behavior of γ-LiAlO2 pastes. And the rise of temperature caused gelation of MC, leading to the climb of torque value.
