Abstract
In the process of making a glass or ceramic article by the preparation of a non-aqueous oxide suspension of submicron oxide particles which is thereafter cast into a configuration for the product, gelled, dried, and fired to provide the unitary product, the need to thermally dry and/or protect the oxides from water contamination is avoided by treating the oxide with an alcohol to render it hydrophobic. The desirable gelling and drying characteristics of the suspensions are preserved.
