Abstract:
A high-solids photocurable ceramic composition comprising:(a) at least 10 percent by volume of water;(b) at least 0.05 percent by weight of photocurable compounds or polymers that are soluble or dispersible in water, which photocurable compounds or polymers chemically react with each other in the presence of ultraviolet radiation having a wavelength in the range of from 200-400 nanometers at an intensity of at least 0.01 joules per square centimeter, to form compounds or polymers which are more hydrophobic than the unreacted photocurable compounds or polymers, but which photocurable compounds or polymers are stable and do not react in the absence of light for at least one day, under ambient conditions; and(c) at least 45 volume percent of dispersed ceramic particles.
