Short Abstract: Various organic materials are used in making ceramics products. Their structural design is determined according to manufacturing processes. Therefore, differences in the chemical structure of organic materials affect the quality of products. However, detail information is not written in safety data sheet (SDS) of raw materials. So, some user only evaluates basic physical properties (ex. viscosity, molecular weight distribution etc...). Understanding chemical structures is important for promoting development more efficiently. In this presentation, we focus on dispersants and binders used in the ceramics manufacturing processes. The structure of dispersant is determined by Kendrick mass defect (KMD) analysis¹⁾. The binder is analyzed by pyrolysis GC-MS.
