Product Description
Organic Additives and Ceramic Processing, Second Edition: With Applications in Powder Metallurgy, Ink, and Paint can be used as a textbook and also as a reference source for working ceramists.
This edition reports much new data from the author's laboratory, as well as 1996 literature references for further study. New information is presented on such topics as high solids loadings in slips, applying external lubricants after spray drying, optimizing dry pressing, achieving very high green density, and some logical thinking procedures for solving industrial problems.
While the book is designed to be easy to understand, it also provides considerable theoretical depth for advanced development engineering. The subjects covered include organic chemistry; polymers, colloids, dispersants, binders, lubricants, and other additives. Emphasis is given to environmental considerations, facilitating binder burnout, and insuring constant shrinkage. Typical ceramic forming processes such as slip casting, extrusion and others are also covered with a view towards the suppliers who provide chemicals to the ceramics industry. Much information obtained from related technology such as printing is presented, as well as potential applications of ceramics knowledge in the other direction: making novel inks, paints and sintered metal objects.

Words from a mentor... January 15, 2005
Dr. Shanefield was an improtant colleague and advisor back at my first job with Western Electric Engineering Research Center, Princeton.
Dan gave guidance to me while I worked through a critical problem in a WE ceramic manufacturing process. It was during this period that I learned to focus on the obscure and think. We had a great team.
Thank you, Dan!

A VERY HANDY BOOK FROM THE MASTER OF THIS BUSINESS March 12, 1999

Well...I am a little (!) biased at the get-go in writing this review since I know Dr. Shanefield in person (in fact his office is next to mine!). This book aims at providing the reader with a sound backround in ceramic processing, as well as the essential "working tools" needed in real life. It is written rather densely. You will find useful information in almost every single sentence of the book. The text is nothing but a reflection of the infamous DJ Shanefield trademark of competence that is recognized all over the world (spanning three successful decades of industrial research).
The book addresses all the main aspects of ceramic processing (from powder characteristics to colloidal processing and sintering) and provides the reader with great insights into the underlying chemical phenomena from an operational point of view. What I particularily like about this book is its very concise summary of the underlying organic chemistry principles of binders. Consequently, the reader does not have to make recourse to organic chemistry books and extract the necessary background information for him/herself. This book, terefore, is a very valuable source in aquiring the threshold amount of information on organic chemistry for an array of applications in processing science.
The book also contains many case studies (including laboratory experiments) at the end that are derived from the author's many years of experience in industry. Many footnotes are included in the book as well, which are very entertaining and educational. In my opinion, the book deserves special recognition since it blends "science" and real life together in a very effective and balanced manner, which some of us simply call Engineering! Specifically, in this book the reader is exposed to problem solving en lieu of being bombarded by a wealth of encyclopedic information which, unfortunately, is the case with many books on this subject. I highly recommend this book to those who want learn more about Ceramic Processing.
