TL;DR: Gelcasting is a novel method for molding ceramic powder based on a synthesis of concepts derived from traditional ceramics and polymer chemistry as discussed by the authors, which is described in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a suspension de poudre ceramique dans une solution de monomeres organiques est coulee dans un moule, and on polymerise in situ le melange de monemeres pour former des pieces gelifiees which seront ensuite sechees and frittees.

TL;DR: Gelcasting as discussed by the authors is a combination of polymer chemistry with slip processing and represents minimal departure from standard ceramic processing and has attracted industrial partners and by collaboration between them and the developers, the process is being advanced from the laboratory toward industrial production.

TL;DR: A series of low-toxicity gelcasting systems have been developed as discussed by the authors, which have very low acute toxicity and perform at least as well as, and in some cases better than, the original acrylamide-based system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the microwave sintering of zirconia demonstrates the necessity to understand both the materials and electromagnetic field aspects of microwave processing and demonstrates that the resulting grain size was finer.
