The thickness of the coating required is 0.2 mm or the loading of gamma alumina is 40%. please advice me some binders inorganic, organic and polymeric materials. GS RAO

Look up the technology on micro-encapsulation, e.g.,for the production of coated particles in the pharmaceutical industry. One such method uses a gelatin base binder, co-precipitation is controlled by modification of pH.
