Using X-ray diffraction analysis and infrared spectroscopy techniques, the effect of additives on phase composition variation during mechanochemical activation of a kaolin-containing cordierite batch was investigated. It was shown that introduction of Trilon B permits fixing of the start of cordierite synthesis already during batch activation. It was established that mechanochemical activation of a cordierite batch doped with Trilon B results in an increase of the strength of cordierite samples prepared by polymer matrix duplication.
