Description
PREPARATION AND UTILITY OF SOLUBLE POLYMERS IN WATER THAT
THEY HAVE FUNCTIONALITIES PENDING DERIVATIZED AMIDA, ESTER
OR ETHER, AS DISPERSANTS AND CERAMIC AGGLUTINANTS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Methods for supplying and joining ceramic materials in aqueous medium are described. The methods use water-soluble polymers that have outstanding functionalities derivatized amide, ester or ether and that bind various kinds of ceramic materials.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Ceramic materials are commonly prepared by mixing powdered ceramic powders such as magnesium, alumina, titania and zirconia, in a suspension together with additives, such as dispersants and binders.The suspension can be spray dried to produce ceramic particles. The particles are pressed into an aggregate structure called an "un-sintered ceramic", which has the desired shape and is then subjected to a strong heat treatment known as sintering.The sintering process converts the un-sintered ceramic material into
REF. 30735
a cohesive "ceramic ceramic", which has a polycrystalline ceramic phase almost monolithic. The binder serves to maintain the ceramic particles of the ceramic without sintering in the desired form after pressing. The binder can also provide lubrication while the particles are pressed.
Preferably, the binder is completely ignited or vaporized during the sintering process which leaves no traces of the binder in the baked ceramic material. In performing these functions, the binder significantly affects the properties of the baked ceramics which are ultimately produced. In commercial practice, polyvinyl alcohols are widely used as ceramic binders. Additionally, copolymers of poly (ethylene oxide) and ethylene-vinyl acetate have been used in an informed manner as binders for particulate material, such as granular silica gel. For example, polymeric binders containing substantially manufactured hydrolyzed copolymers of monomers having ester or amide functional groups, poly (vinyl formamide) or a copolymer of vinyl alcohol and vinylamine, are disclosed in U.S. Pat.
Nos. 5,358,911; 5,487,855, and 5,525,665.
In addition, polymeric treatments have been described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,680,339; 4,731,419; 4,885,345 and 5,084,520. The utility for the treatments has been described as dispersants in water treatment, inhibitors of incrustations and in industrial and natural waters, flocculants, coagulants and thickeners; but ceramic applications of binders and dispersion have not been described. Although commercially available binders are satisfactory for many applications, there is a need for improved binders which provide even greater strength and / or increased density in un-sintered ceramic materials. A greater resistance to the lack of sintering reduces the rupture during the handling of ceramic materials without sintering and, generally it is associated with ceramics cooked of superior quality. Preferably, the improved binders should be cheaper and more versatile than previously known binders. Spray drying is an evaporative process in which a liquid is removed from a suspension containing a liquid and a substantially non-volatile solid. The liquid is vaporized by direct contact with a drying medium, usually air, in an extremely short retention time, in the order of approximately 3 to
approximately 30 seconds. The primary control factors in a spray drying process are the particle size, the particle size distribution, the particle shape, the suspension density, the suspension viscosity, temperature, residence time and humidity of the product. The viscosity of the suspension must be suitable for handling and spray drying. Although the conditions of spray drying equipment can be adjusted to handle a wide variety of viscosities, larger particles usually result in higher viscosity suspensions. Those usually familiar with the art are related to the spray drying processes used in the production of ceramic materials, and will be able to optimize the control factors of spray drying to make the most of them. Alternatively, the spray drying process can be replaced by other well-known drying methods such as granulation, die-cutting and pulping. Spray drying of the suspension produces freely flowing, substantially dry powder particles which contain the ceramic material, the binder and the optional materials described above. The dried particles are granules and which are generally spheroidal in shape and have an effective diameter of approximately 50
to approximately 300 micrometers. Typically, about 0.5% to about 8% of the binder, based on the dry weight of the ceramic powder, is present in the dry particles. In granulation, a mixture of dry powder or powder is mixed or tumbled, commonly in a barrel-shaped apparatus. The water solution and / or a binder is sprayed onto the mixing powder causing aggregation of the small particles into larger granules. The size of the granules is controlled by the amount of material sprayed on the powders and the speed at which it is sprayed. The granulated powders can be screened to a desired size and pressed to form them in a pressing operation before sintering. Alternatively, the granules themselves can be the desired product and can be sintered directly. Tape die cutting is commonly used to produce thin substrates for the computer industry. In the process, a ceramic powder containing a thick ceramic suspension, a dispersant and binders are prepared. The suspension is punched on a uniform surface such as a Mylar or plastic sheet and the thickness is controlled by passing the sheet under a blade which uniformly makes the surface of the suspension and scraped off the excess material. The suspension tape is dried in a plastic state and cut and conforms to the specifications. The amount of binder present in the ribbon die is very high,
typically in the order of 15 to 20% by weight of the ceramic powder mass. In the spray drying of the fluidized bed, small particles of "seed" are placed in a column and hot air is blown into the powder seeded from the bottom of the particle suspension in the column. A ceramic suspension is sprinkled on the seed particles from the top, causing them to grow. When the particles reach a large enough size, they are removed by siphon action of the dryer while introducing more seed particles. This process can produce dust for subsequent formation processes, or the powder itself can represent the desired product, in which case, it would be sintered to produce a final ceramic product. The dried particles are compacted to produce a sintered, aggregate ceramic structure. Preferably, the particles are compacted by pressing them into dies having an internal volume which approximates the desired shape for the final baked ceramic product. Alternatively, the particles are compacted by roll compaction or other well known compaction methods. The spray-dried mixture of powder, binders and surfactants and optional lubricants is
relatively free of flow so that it can enter and conform closely to the shape of the press dies. Within the dies, the dried particles are subjected to a pressure which is typically in the range from about 351 kg / cm2 to about 35153 kg / cm2 (5000-50000 psi). The fact of pressing the particles produces an aggregate structure, called non-sintered ceramic material, which retains its shape after the removal of the die. A forming technique used for spray drying of granulated material is roller compaction, also referred to as roller pressing. This technique takes a dry powder and compresses it between two rollers in a continuous process. This process produces sheets of ceramic material of various widths and thicknesses. These sheets can be cut to the desired shape and sintered to produce the final ceramic body. The process is commonly used to produce ceramic substrates for the electronics industry. Dry pressing involves filling a die formed with dry powder or sprayed granulate and pressing it at high pressures. The pressing occurs through movable pistons in the upper and / or lower part of the die cavity. The process can be used to produce very complex geometries in a single training stage. The body obtained ceramic is expelled from the die and sintered to produce a final ceramic product. Isotactic pressing is similar to dry pressing as the ceramic powder is pressed into a die cavity. However, in isotactic pressing, the entire part of the die wall consists of a flexible material. After filling the die cavity with powder, the die is immersed in a liquid pressure chamber and pressure is applied to compress the die and compact the powder. Unlike dry pressing, no moving parts are involved. Isotactic pressing is commonly used for large or very long parts to minimize fracturing or lamination of the body without ceramic sintering, final. Extrusion involves the pushing of a concentrated plastic suspension through a hole. The hole is the size and shape of the desired ceramic body. This process is commonly used to produce ceramic tubes or similarly shaped parts. The suspension used is prepared from dry powders that are mixed with water, organic binders and lubricants, and a coagulant. This suspension is usually pre-dried in a filter press or similar apparatus to remove excess water and thicken the suspension to a plastic material. Subsequently the material is extruded through a press which is driven
by piston or by screw. The extruded material is cut to the desired length, dried and sintered. Shaped molding is commonly used in the porcelain industry to form an extruded or pressed and filtered ceramic suspension. Typically, a portion of the plastic suspension is placed on a rotating wheel and formed by rollers and / or knife blades to the desired geometry. This body is then dried and sintered. Another method of forming ceramic material, which is used for parts of complex shapes, is die-cutting. In the paste die-cutting, a concentrated ceramic suspension (paste) is poured into a mold with an internal shape of the desired ceramic body. The suspension used must be highly concentrated to avoid particle sedimentation and / or excessive shrinkage during drying. At the same time, the paste must be fluid enough to completely fill the mold and allow the escape of air bubbles. The presence of a polymeric binder adds resistance to the body of the die by preventing rupture during the removal of the mold and the handling of the body before sintering. The heating of the aggregate structure removes volatile materials such as water, and the removal by burning of organic materials, such as binders or
surfactants. When a sufficiently high temperature is reached, the particles of the aggregate structure begin to fuse, but do not fully fuse, and are clamped together to reproduce a relatively strong fired ceramic material having essentially the desired shape. The suspension, for example, is spray dried to produce substantially dry particles. The particles are preferably pressed to produce an aggregate, a non-sintered ceramic structure and heated to produce a baked ceramic material. Alternatively, the particles may be formed into an aggregate, a ceramic structure not sintered by roller compaction or by other well-known methods. Although commercially available binders are satisfactory for many applications, there is a need for improved binders which provide an even higher strength and / or density in non-sintered ceramic materials. A higher non-sintered strength reduces the breakage during handling of the non-sintered ceramic material and is generally associated with higher quality ceramic material. Preferably, the improved binders should be cheaper and more versatile than previously known binders.
The present invention also relates to a method for dispersing ceramic materials. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for dispersing one or more ceramic materials in an aqueous medium by using a polymeric dispersant formed of monomers containing hydroxy-functional monomers and acid. Ceramic materials are frequently used to prepare lightweight, resistant and thermally and chemically resistant products. Due to the difficulties associated with the handling of solid ceramic materials, it is desirable that the ceramic materials be in the form of an aqueous dispersion. However, aqueous dispersions of ceramic materials are often unstable, show sediment formation when allowed to stand. When left to rest, the dispersion becomes agglomerated and becomes inhomogeneous and generates difficulties for its handling. These agglomerates can also damage pipes, pumps and other mechanical dispersion handling equipment. The use of dispersants solves these difficulties and also improves the strength and density of the ceramic parts formed, particularly those manufactured by dry pressing, die-cutting of pulp and strip die-cutting process. Polymers are known for use as dispersants for ceramic materials. Typical polymeric dispersants for ceramic materials include polymers formed from monomers
containing acid such as, for example, poly (acrylic acid) and poly (methacrylic acid). For example, the anionic polymers produced by hydrolyzing a maleic anhydride terpolymer, N-vinylpyrrolidone and a vinyl compound selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, acrylamide, methyl methacrylate and butyl vinyl ether are described in the US Pat. United No. 5,266,243. Additionally, polymeric dispersants consisting of from 5 to 95 weight percent of one or more hydroxy-functional monomers and from 95% to 5% by weight of one or more acid-containing monomers are described in US Pat. Nos. 5,567,353 and 5,532,307. The hydroxy-functional monomer is selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, allyl alcohol, allyloxyethanol, allyl propoxylate, vinyl acetate, l-buten-3,4-diol. and 3-allyloxy-1,2-propanediol. In addition, imidized acrylic polymers have been described for increasing the flowability in cement compositions in U.S. Patent No. 5,393,343. Although such polymers function properly in the dispersion of some ceramic materials, certain ceramic materials are more difficult to disperse and dispersants
conventional polymers are not suitable. Ceramic materials which present particular difficulty in the form of dispersions include nitrides such as, for example, boron nitride. U.S. Patent No. 5,209,885 discloses the dispersion of silicon nitride for extrusion by the use of a graft copolymer comprising a polyoxyalkylene backbone with polyacrylate side chains. The present invention seeks to provide a method for dispersing ceramic material that includes various ceramic materials known to be difficult to disperse.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Red; for treatment of cooling waters such as inhibition of scale and corrosion, such as for inhibition of calcium carbonate and calcium phosphonate incrustations; for ceramic applications such as machining of non-sintered material and gypsum core forming process; for the preparation of gypsum suspensions, for the treatment of reverse osmosis systems such as inhibition of scale formation by desalination, for applications for oil fields such as reverse emulsion defibers and inhibition of scale of barium sulphate and calcium carbonate; for the treatment of pulp and paper systems such as scale control, sizing agents, dry strength additives and release agents and as a treatment for solid / liquid separation. Such structures can be used in many applications such as dispersants in water treatment, scaling inhibitors in natural and industrial waters, flocculants, coagulants and thickeners, among others. The present invention relates to polymeric binders for preparing ceramic materials. The method can be used to produce ceramics cooked from ceramic powders. Suitable powders include, but are not limited to: aluminum oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, silicon carbide, silicon oxide,
magnesium, lead oxide, zirconium oxide, titanium oxide and neodymium oxide. Aluminum oxide is currently preferred. The powder can have an average weight average particle size in the range from a few nanometers to about 1/2 millimeter. Dusts having a median size in the range of from about 0.5 to about 10 microns are preferred. In one aspect, the ceramic powder is mixed with an aqueous solution containing a polymer to produce a suspension. Preferably the suspension is prepared using deionized water. The suspension may contain lubricants, plasticizers and surfactants such as dispersing or defoaming agents. It is also recognized that the properties of a ceramic material such as, but not limited to, sintered density, surface quality or grinding characteristics, may vary as desired by adjusting the ratio of different monomers in a copolymer, the degree of hydrolysis of a copolymer and the molecular weight of the polymer used in the binder composition. Several factors may affect the preferred amount of polymeric dispersant to be used in the formation of a dispersion of a ceramic material. Because the range of ceramic materials that can be used for particular applications, and because the different
- In applications may require different levels of solids, the amount of dispersant can vary from 0.01 percent to 3 percent by weight, based on the mass of dust. For example, the morphology of the ceramic material may affect the optimum level of dispersant. Generally, the more spherical the particles, the less dispersant is required. The surface area of the ceramic material can also affect the optimum amount of dispersant. The greater the surface area of a ceramic material, the more dispersant is generally required. The ionic strength (or water hardness) of the dispersion can also affect the optimum level of dispersant. Dispersions that have higher ionic strength generally require more dispersant. The ionic strength of the dispersion can be controlled, for example, by using distilled, deionized, partially distilled or partially deionized water, by controlling the level of contaminants introduced into the dispersion by the various components of the dispersion or by adding one or more agents conventional chelators to the dispersion. Preferably, the water hardness of the dispersion which is attributable to multivalent cations is less than about 600 parts per million ("ppm") expressed as Ca.t., more preferably less than about 500 ppm. Generally, the higher the pH of the dispersion, the lower the amount of dispersant
necessary. For purposes of the present invention, it is preferred that the pH is not less than 6. The polymeric dispersant of the present invention functions particularly well at a pH of about 8 to 11. The ceramic materials useful in the formation of a dispersion in accordance with the method of the present invention include ceramics of oxide, nitride and carbide; in particular: alumina, aluminum nitride, aluminum titanate, lead titanate, boron nitride, silicon, silicon carbide, sialon, zirconium nitride, zirconium carbide, zirconium boride, boron carbide, tungsten carbide, boride of tungsten, tin oxide, ruthenium oxide, yttrium oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, chromium oxide, ferrites and mixtures thereof, among others. As used herein, "ceramic materials" includes ferrites. Ferrites are ferrimagnetic oxides. The ferrite classes include filr ferrites, which are oxides having the general formula MO.Fe ^ O., Wherein "M" represents a divalent metal ion or a mixture of ions. The particular examples of filing ferrites are Fe, O., and NiFe¿04. Another class of ferrites are ortoferrites, with the general formulas MFeO_., MCoO. or MMnO ,, where M represents La, Ca, Sr, Ba, Y or a rare earth ion. Another class of ferrites are the hexagonal ferrites, with the general formula AB1O, wherein A is a divalent metal and
B is a trivalent metal. Examples of hexagonal ferrites include PbFe12O?;. As used herein, the term clays indicates materials used in the manufacture of porcelain objects. Examples are kaolin and clay spheres, among others. The polymers described herein for the practice of this invention may vary in molecular weight from about 1,000 to about 1,000,000. Preferably, the molecular weight will be from about 5,000 to about 100,000. For the polymers defined herein, the units defined by the formulas I-IV vary from 5 to 75% of the total number of monomer units in the polymer. Preferably, the units defined as formulas I-IV will be at least 30% of the total number of monomer units in the polymer. The classes of polymers described herein contain monomeric amide, ester and ether units which are functionalized with pendant groups. These pending groups confer favorable polymer properties for use as a binder for ceramic materials. The polymers can be produced by polymerization using specific monomers, so that they can be produced by copolymerization of acrylic acid with a comonomer of poly (ethylene glycol) methacrylate. The polymer produced from
this way will contain a hydrophilic backbone with pendant groups consisting of poly (ethylene glycol). Alternatively, pendant groups may be introduced into the polymer after polymerization. For example, polyacrylic acid can be amidated with an ethoxylated / propoxylated amine, such as that available from Texaco under the trade name of the Jeffamine series to produce a polymer with a hydrophilic backbone and ethyleneoxy / propyleneoxy pendent groups. During the amidation process, the cyclic imide structures can form between two adjacent carboxylate or carboxamide units on the polymer backbone. These imide structures are not expected to have an adverse effect on the performance of the polymers as a ceramic processing aid. The invention is a binder for ceramic materials comprising a water-soluble polymer, having: A) a monomeric unit of the formula

Example 9
To determine the dispersibility of the polymers, the following experimental procedure was followed.
Pastes of 1,500 g to 80 weight percent alumina powder (99.5% calcined alpha alumina oxide available from Alean, C90 LSB Alumina) in water are prepared using 0.25
percent by weight (polymer / powder) of the polymer to be tested. Each paste is milled 3 hours in a 1 liter jar mill using 1,500 g of grinding media. Subsequently, the resulting pastes are filtered through a 60 mesh screen, and the viscosity is measured with a Brookfield equipment using an LVT type viscometer using a # 2 rod. For comparison purposes, a commercially available common alumina additive polymer is used. Polymer B is available ammonium poly (methacrylate) from R.T. Vanderbilt Co., Norwalk, CT. The polymer A is a polymer synthesized according to the procedure of example 2. The viscosity of a suspension must be suitable for the necessary spray handling and drying. Although the spray drying equipment and operating conditions can be adjusted to handle a variety of viscosities, the larger practices will result from the higher viscosity suspensions. The resulting large particles can lead to larger inter-particle interstices and therefore to lower strength. The binder can contribute to the voscosidad of the continuous phase of the suspension by virtue of its molecular weight, solubility, conformation in solution and possible incompatibility with the combination of powder and dispersant. Since a lower viscosity is more desirable for
ceramic applications, the results of table I show that the polymer of this invention, prepared according to the procedure of example 2, works better than the common treatment.

Example 10
The polymers were also tested in order to determine the effects of pulp viscosity as a binder-type function, according to the following procedure. Deflocculated pulp was prepared as in the procedure of Example 9. To each paste prepared in this manner, the polymeric treatment to be tested is added,
to constitute a total level of 4.0 percent by weight (polymer / powder). Subsequently, each paste containing binder is mixed by propellant at 800 rpm for 1 hour. For any necessary dilution, deionized water is added to obtain the level of tabulated powder solids. Finally, the viscosity of the pulp is measured using the method described in Example 9. The results in Table II illustrate that although the binder composition varies, the polymers of this invention cause lower viscosity of the pulp compared to the available polymer treatment. commercially today. In Table II, polymer C is polyvinyl alcohol which has a molecular weight of 30,000 to 50,000 and is 88% hydrolyzed. It is available from Air Products of Allentown, Pa. Polymer A is a polymer synthesized according to the procedure of Example 2. For each polymer tested, 4 weight percent is used, and the viscosity is measured as 3.14 seconds.

Example 11
A copolymer is synthesized by the process described in example 2 above, it is tested as a binder for alumina particles of the type which are commonly used to produce ceramic materials. In this example, the paste preparation described in Example 10 is used to further examine the characteristics of the binders.
The milled suspension is spray-dried in a Yamato DL-41 laboratory spray dryer. The operating conditions of the dryer were: 250 ° C air inlet temperature, 1.2 atomized air adjustment, 5 adjustment of the suspension feed pump and drying air feed rate of 0.7 cubic meters per minute . A dry powder is produced which is recovered, sieved and stored overnight in a 20% relative humidity chamber. The sieved powder is pressed onto 9 shots in a Carver laboratory press, 352 kg / cm2 (5,000 pounds per square inch) of pressure force, 1055 kg / cm2 (15,000 pounds per square inch) of pressure force and 1758 kg / cm2
(25,000 pounds per square inch) of pressure force. The granules were approximately 28.7 millimeters in diameter and 5 to 6 millimeters in height. The dimensions and weights of the granules were measured and the granules were ground to determine the force required to break them. The diametral compression strength (DCS) for each of the granules was determined from the breaking force and the dimensions of the granule. The average diametral compressive strength in megapascals for each set of 3 granules is presented below in Table III. The diametral compression strength of the non-sintered body is important in ceramic applications for the
following reasons. The main function of the binder is to keep the compacted form together after pressing. The method used to determine the appropriate "unsintered resistance" is the diametral compression resistance or DCS of a cylindrical section through its diameter. DCS is actually a measure of tensile strength. The pressure tolerance measurement unit is the megapascal (Mpa). Typical values for DCS of "non-sintered" parts are on average 0.3-3.0 MPa. The polymer A is a separate polymer according to the procedure in example 2. The polymer C is the conventional additive described in example 10. Therefore,, since a higher DCS value indicates a more efficient binder, Table III shows that the polymers of the present invention are more efficient than a conventional treatment. D is another additive that is frequently used together with these polymeric treatments for ceramic applications. Since a higher density is desirable, the results of Table III illustrate that the polymers of the present invention are more advantageous in this respect also, as indicated by the higher amounts obtained compared to the case of conventional treatment. The characteristic of elastic recovery is another important measure of the efficiency of a polymer for ceramic applications for the following reasons. Before him
When filling a die, the resulting compacted part must be expelled uniformly, be as dense as possible and not suffer from significant dimensional change with respect to that of the die. Chemical additives have a major effect on the desired lubricating power. The compressed powder will experience stress relaxation in the form of expansion upon release from the die. This phenomenon is referred to as "elastic recovery" and is undesirable from the point of view of dimensional accuracy as well as density and strength. For this example, D is used as a plasticizer. The maintenance of a net shape is important, since the presentation of a larger amount of elastic recovery can cause lamination defects, or undesirable density gradients. Therefore, the lower values for elastic recovery obtained by the polymers of this invention in Table III demonstrate that such polymers are more efficient than conventional treatment. The pressure required to eject the die was also measured. The same test equipment was used as described above, except that after the granule is pressed, a plunger is used at the bottom of the apparatus to apply force to the die. A lower pressure is more desirable, and is obtained by the use of polymers of the
present invention on polymers conventionally used for ceramic purposes. TABLE III Comparison of Non-Sintered Body Properties

Example 12
The procedures in Example 11 were used to obtain the results of Table IV. Instead of using a range of pressures as in the previous example, the
characteristics were evaluated at a single density. The pressure which is required to produce that density is recorded in the table. The polymers A, C and D are as defined in example 11 above. Even when measured as pressed granules at a constant density, the polymers of the present invention provide superior performance over conventional polymeric treatment.
