Physical and mechanical properties of clay recycle glass-paper ceramic by slip casting technique

A series of ceramics based on (x) incinerated paper - (80-x) cullet – 20 Kaolin clay (where 10= x= 45 wt %) has successfully been made by slip casting technique followed by sintering at 1000?C for 2 hours. The physical properties are evaluated based on their density, water absorption and thermal shr...
