The application discloses a
ceramic material based on
cellulose nanocrystals and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
ceramic material preparation. The
aldehyde group of
cellulose nanocrystals can be subjected to
Schiff base reaction with the amino group in modified expanded
graphite to form a three-dimensional reinforced composite
network structure, so that
ceramic particle
sedimentation can be prevented,
slurry uniformity can be ensured,
viscosity can be rapidly reduced in the
wet grinding process, good fluidity can be shown, high-energy mechanical
shear stress generated in the
grinding process can be effectively buffered and dissipated and
structural integrity can be retained, the
mechanical strength and
fracture toughness of the
green body are improved, in the high-temperature
sintering stage, the
cellulose nanocrystals fixed by chemical bonds can be uniformly lost, and uniform micropores are generated, local agglomeration
combustion and the resulting
stress concentration are avoided, warping and
cracking in the
sintering process are effectively inhibited, and the
mechanical strength of the ceramic material is improved.
