The characterisation of paper-composite porcelain in a green state

A porcelain body traditionally used to produce ceramic art and design objects was re-formulated using additional waste paper. The aim of this study was to develop knowledge into the technological properties of paper-composite porcelain in its green state, for use within the traditional practices of ceramic art and design production. terisation was made by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Two different production methods used by potters, slip casting and free-hand pressing, were used. esence of the paper fibre, the paper type and the content amount are the important factors in strengthening development. Significant differences were found in relation to the content amount of paper fibre, between the mother porcelain body and the different content amount of paper fibre in the paper-composite porcelain body.
