Table 4 Free energy of adhesion of slurry components with different CMCs (\(\Delta G^{IF}_{132}\) is annotated as \(\Delta G^{IF}_{S-H2O-CMC}\) with 1 being the solid sample S, 3 the liquid (\(H_2O\)) and 2 the respective CMC binder).
Solid sample | \(\Delta G^{IF}_{S-H2O-CMC0.5}\) | \(\Delta G^{IF}_{S-H2O-CMC0.8}\) | \(\Delta G^{IF}_{S-H2O-CMC1.0}\) | \(\Delta G^{IF}_{S-H2O-CMC1.2}\) |
