Abstract Ceramic injection-moulding blends containing 56 vol % fine silicon nitride and 65 vol % coarse silicon powder in a polypropylene and wax vehicle were prepared by dispersive mixing with and without 2 p.p.h. silane coupling agent based on the weight of powder. The addition of silane reduced the viscosity and the pseudoplasticity of the suspensions considerably. The mechanical strength of the moulding compositions, which may influence the tendency to crack during solidification in the cavity, was marginally increased. The treated silicon powder was strongly hydrophobic but this was not the case with the silicon nitride powder.[/p]
