“ green ”, ceramic tapes intended as building blocks for making complex , fully ceramic components and devices for electronic -, lab - on - chip -, and sensing applications , the manufacture of which comprises in sequence : i . mixing of a ceramic “ green ” paste , ii . homogenisation of a ceramic “ green ” paste , iii . dimensioning and optionally structuring the ceramic “ green ” paste , iv . drying of the dimensioned and structured ceramic paste , in which : step iii ) is performed in a combination of an extruder and a calender , the extruder being provided with a circular extrusion die , splitting and unfolding the extruded tube to a flat , continuous tape strip , using methylcellulose or derivatives thereof as binder , and , an additional step chosen among cutting and punching the thus dimensioned and optionally structured “ green ” paste , thereby making thick , “ green ” tapes . a method for its manufacture is also contemplated .
