The casting behavior and properties of thin, unsintered BaTiO{sub 3} tapes were studied by measuring viscosity of the slip, green density, ultimate tensile stress, and strain to failure. It was found that increasing the binder to plasticizer ratio increased slip viscosity and strength as expected but also increased strain to failure, and that increasing the poly(ethylene glycol) to benzyl butyl phthalate ratio improved tape release and tape strength, but a small amount of benzyl butyl phthalate improved strain to failure. In addition, increasing the powder to organics ratio increased slip viscosity and green density but strength passed through a maximum and strain to failure decreased. Both slip viscosity and green density were optimized at a particular dispersant concentration but strength decreased monotonically with increased dispersant addition. Finally, an optimum cyclohexanone addition led to a maximum density and strength.
