Overview

This book (a companion to Science of Whitewares, focuses on the pre-firing issues of raw materials, polymeric additives, characterization, processing, and forming. Provides an in-depth understanding of the raw minerals used to manufacture whitewares including minerology and characterization, followed by the systems that are the keys to improved yields in the manufacturing process.
