Microstructure and Glass Phase of Inorganic Binder Coated on Mold for Thin Casting

Figure 3

SEM morphologies on the fracture surfaces of mold samples through process I as a function of SiO2 precursor: (a) TEOS and (b) PDMS. Each number indicates SEM morphologies before and after the heat treatment, respectively. Arrows indicate the glass phase formed in mold samples.
