The present invention provides free flowing and moisture resistant compositions from normally hygroscopic compositions by a process of mixing the hygroscopic material with a sealing material and heat treating. By controlling the sealing material added, the heat treatment time, and the heat treatment temperature, the sealing material forms a glassy coating on the hygroscopic material that is impervious to moisture while retaining free-flow properties. The present invention particularly provides free-flowing and moisture resistant sodium titanate and potassium titanate compositions having a moisture pick-up =&lt; about 0.5 wt. % by a process of mixing sodium titanate or potassium titanate with a sealing material and heat treating the mixture.

Moisture resistant sodium titanate and potassium titanate

The present invention provides ceramic compositions for preparing multi-layer capacitors, having high dielectric constants between about 4900 and 5400, dissipation factors below about 2.0%, high insulation resistance capacitance products and stable temperature coefficient characteristics, by a process of mixing a major ceramic component with one or more precipitated dopant components. By controlling the conditions of the system, precipitated dopant particles are charged oppositely to major ceramic component particles and are thus associated with the major ceramic component particles.

Dielectric ceramic with high K, low DF and flat TC

The present invention provides ceramic compositions for preparing multi-layer capacitors (MLCs) having high dielectric constants between about 3000 and 4700 and stable temperature coefficients (TC) prepared from high purity barium titanate, niobium pentoxide and cobalt oxide.
