Abstract

An aqueous composition containing aluminum nitride powder which exhibits a reduced tendency for hydrolysis of the aluminum nitride contained therein. The aqueous composition comprises (a) a liquid medium containing water, (b) aluminum nitride powder, and (c) a combination of buffering agents which controls the pH of water from about 5.5 to about 7.5, wherein the combination of buffering agents is employed at a lower weight percent concentration than that of the aluminum nitride powder. In another embodiment of the invention, a method of processing aluminum nitride powder in water which exhibits a reduced tendency for hydrolysis of the aluminum nitride is disclosed, which method involves mixing the above-described aqueous composition.
