Uniaxial pressing

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012426",
  "term": "Uniaxial pressing",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A method of compacting powdered materials, such as polymer or ceramic powders, by applying pressure in a single direction within a die. This process shapes the powder into a desired form and increases its density by reducing void spaces between particles. It is a common technique for preparing green bodies before sintering or further processing.",
