Abstract

Disclosed is a powder of silicon nitride particles having a specific surface area of from 5 to 20 m.sup.2 /g. When an aqueous solution of a polyvinyl alcohol having a mean degree of polymerization of X and a degree of saponification of Y (mol %) is adsorbed to the powder, the amount of saturated adsorption at 20.degree. C. is not higher than the amount of adsorption to be represented by: EQU Amount of Adsorption (mg/m.sup.2)=0.000112X+0.523Y/100-0.207 (1) Also disclosed is a low-viscosity silicon nitride-containing aqueous slurry containing said powder.
