Abstract
Abstract Ceramic compositions that may be injection molded and subsequently sintered are described. The compositions include minor amounts of organo-titanates which materially reduce the viscosity of the compositions. The reduction in viscosity is particularly effective in compositions containing high loadings of silicon carbide as the ceramic material. The organo-titanates found useful are represented by the formula: (R.sub.1 --O).sub.m --Ti--(O--X.sub.z --R.sub.2).sub.n wherein: (a) m is an integer from 1 to 8 and n is an integer from 0 to 4, (b) m+n=4, (c) z is an integer from 0 to 1, (d) R 1 is aliphatic containing 1 and 4 carbon atoms, (e) X is independently selected from the group of phosphite, phosphate, and pyrophosphate. (f) R 2 is aliphatic containing from 8 to 25 carbon atoms.
