Surface modification and dispersion of silicon nitride and silicon carbide powders

• A surface modification technique using controlled hydrolysis and polymerization of Al-alkoxide is oresented. It was found by measuring the electrokinetic behaviour and the adsorption properties that a minimum amount of about 0.5 mg Al/m2 was necessary to give SiC and Si3N4 in cyclohexane using a commercial dispersant with an acidic headgroup.
