Abstract
Slurries or suspensions for forming sintered ceramic or metallic articles are described as having a high volume fraction of sinterable particles, at least 55% by volume. while the slurries maintain a pourable viscosity, such as not more that 2000 cPs at 100 s.sup.-1 ; the slurries can be dilatant and/or pseudoplastic. The slurries are prepared by using specific families of dispersants; namely acrylic acid-based polymeric polyelectrolytes, polyethylene imine-based polyelectrolytes, and coupling agents from the subfamilies of oxy-silane esters and phosphate esters. Fabrication of the compositions includes milling under high energy and the addition of at least a portion of the particles in a step-wise manner.
