Abstract
Suspensions of ceramic or metallic colloidal particles having a high volume fraction (greater than about 55 vol. %) solid particles are provided in a pourable form. The pourable suspension includes at least about 55 vol. % ceramic or metallic colloidal particles, an aqueous vehicle, and an acrylic acid-based polymeric polyelectrolytic dispersant. Such suspensions can be prepared by mixing the colloidal particles in a staged order of addition and under a high shear rate with the other components. The suspensions are suitable for making ceramic or metallic articles, and can exhibit a low viscosity.
