Abstract This paper reports part of an attempt to harness the scope and versatility of polymer manufacturing operations and use them in ceramics processing. It describes the preparation of extruded zirconia ridged plates, the film-blowing of zirconia and the solvent welding of stacks of these components to produce cross-flow structures. Assemblies of this type, prepared from a single ceramic, find application in heat exchangers. Assemblies of composite ceramics, when the problems of cofiring of different powders are overcome, provide solid oxide fuel cell structures. The organic vehicle used for these processes was based on polystyrene. The structures were sintered and then examined for the defects which are characteristic of these plastic-forming operations when applied to ceramics.
