Objective
- Synthesis of a ceramic ultrafiltration membrane via production near processing route
Methods
- Development of a tape casting technology in order to synthesis ceramic foils based on
nanoscaled materials
- Lamination technology in order to transfer ultrathin foils on porous, green and
densified ceramics as well as on glass, metals or polymers
- Use of lamination and cofiring technologies
Results
- ultrathin, ceramic foils (1 - 20 µm)
- The pore size of the separation layer of UF module ranges from 4 to10 nm; sintering
to full density is also possible
- Membrane composition: ZrO2; Y-ZrO2, Al2O3;
Al2O3-SiC; PZT ....

Applications
- UF membranes
- Gas sensors
- Fuel cells
- Catalysts, support for catalysts
- Piezoelectric elements for microelectric applications, if sintered to full density
Benefits
- cost reduction through combination of tape casting and foil transfer technology
- tailoring of poresize and porosity is possible in a wide range
