Popis: Robocasting stands as a pertinent additive manufacturing technique for producing intricate ceramic parts. Amidst stricter environmental regulations, the adoption of natural additives becomes imperative. This study investigates the influence of plant-based additives on the rheology and printability of eco-friendly pastes.Various 50 vol%-alumina pastes were formulated using natural binders, plasticizers and dispersants (e.g., lignosulfonate, polysaccharides, glycerol) and then assessed through oscillation and flow rheological analyses. Paste viscosity and rigidity often deviated from printability maps reported in the literature, showing the complexity of defining universal printability criteria. A comprehensive investigation was conducted on the water retention capabilities of additives, liquid phase migration and paste drying kinetics.This paper highlights the critical importance of constraining liquid phase migration within eco-friendly ceramic pastes and the crucial role of polymer chain reorientation under shear. Consequently, this research lays diversifying formulations, offering sustainable solutions for industrial ceramic applications.
