The main goal of this work was to demonstrate a broad range of starch applications in ceramic powder synthesis, and to point out that starch and its derivatives can successfully replace polyvinyl derivatives commonly used in ceramic formulations, as they are water-soluble saccharides, burn out more easily, reduce the exothermicity of the combustion reaction, and allow to receive fine and uniform ceramic powders. Starch is an eco-friendly and easily transformable natural carbohydrate polymer that is found in a variety of applications in ceramics and materials science. In this paper, we review the influence of starch on the physicochemical properties of the ceramic powders obtained by means of various synthesis methods (sol–gel method, combustion process, combined methods, and hydrothermal synthesis). Starch plays a differentiated role in each of these methods, i.e., it is a polymerizing agent in sol–gel method, a fuel in combustion process, and a substrate for carbon spheres in hydrothermal synthesis.

这项工作的主要目的是证明淀粉在陶瓷粉末合成中的广泛应用，并指出淀粉及其衍生物可以成功替代陶瓷配方中常用的聚乙烯基衍生物，因为它们是水溶性糖，会燃烧掉更容易地，减少燃烧反应的放热，并允许接收细小的和均匀的陶瓷粉末。淀粉是一种生态友好且易于转化的天然碳水化合物聚合物，在陶瓷和材料科学的各种应用中均可找到。在本文中，我们回顾了淀粉对通过各种合成方法（溶胶-凝胶法，燃烧过程，组合方法和水热合成）获得的陶瓷粉末的理化性质的影响。
