Thick films of cordierite-based glass ceramics were prepared by aqueous tape casting from suspensions containing 80-wt% solids. The weight proportions of cordierite/glass ranged from 70/30 to 30/70 in order to investigate the effect of glass content on the rheological behaviour and on the microstructures and properties of the green tapes. Suspensions with 50 to 60-wt% glass content exhibited the lowest viscosity values among all the slurries investigated, while the green tape containing 30-wt% glass presented homogenous microstructures at both top and bottom surfaces, contrarily to the observations for the other compositions. The green densities increased with glass content. The sintered tapes (1150degreesC, 2h) containing 50 to 60-wt% glass exhibited the lowest values for the dielectric constant (similar to5.2) and dielectric loss (similar to0.002) at 1MHz.
