Processing of powders to ceramic components uses a large number of interim additives such as solvents, binders, plasticizers, dispersants, lubricants, and coagulating agents. The majority of these processing additives are synthetically prepared from petroleum-based chemicals. Sustainable development necessitates the replacement of these synthetically prepared additives with naturally renewable materials. The thesis explores the use of natural rubber latex as a binder, gelling agent, and pore stabilizer for the preparation of dense and porous alumina ceramics. Powder pressing, tape casting, slip casting, and freeze-gel casting processes have been established for the preparation of dense and porous alumina ceramics using natural rubber latex binder for the first time.
